What each ingredient does
- Tapioca
- Thickens the soup as its starch swells and gelatinizes during simmering.
- Fat from stock
- Adds richness and carries flavor through the soup.
The step that matters
Stir in the soaked tapioca. Tapioca that is added unevenly can clump, and the starch needs to disperse in the hot liquid to thicken smoothly as it simmers.
