What each ingredient does
- Semolina
- Thickens the stock as it cooks, giving the soup body and a smooth, porridge-like texture.
- Stock
- Forms the liquid base of the soup and carries the flavor throughout.
The step that matters
Keep stirring after adding the semolina. Semolina settles and scorches on the bottom of the pot if left still, and stirring keeps the grains suspended so they hydrate evenly and the soup cooks without a burnt taste.
