What each ingredient does
- Vermicelli
- Provides the body of the soup, as its starch thickens the liquid as it cooks.
The step that matters
Cook for 45 minutes, adding water if it boils away. Keeping the liquid topped up stops the pot from boiling dry, which would scorch the vermicelli and concentrate the soup unevenly.
