What each ingredient does

Vermicelli
Provides the body of the soup, softening as it cooks in the broth.

The step that matters

Cooking the vermicelli until tender. Thin noodles go from firm to overcooked within a short time, becoming soft and mushy. Pulling them off the heat as soon as they are tender keeps their texture pleasant.
