What each ingredient does
- Semoulina
- Thickens the soup as its starch swells in the hot liquid, giving it body.
The step that matters
Adding the semoulina gradually while stirring. Semolina clumps quickly if dropped into hot liquid all at once. Adding it slowly while stirring lets each grain disperse and hydrate evenly, which gives a smooth, lump-free soup.
