What each ingredient does
- Vermicelli
- Provides the starchy noodles that give the soup its body and bite.
- Rich broth
- Supplies the main liquid and savory flavor that the soup is built on.
The step that matters
Cook until tender and serve. Pasta keeps absorbing liquid and softening in hot broth, so it can turn mushy quickly. Checking tenderness often and serving promptly keeps the noodles firm enough to hold their texture.
