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.
