What each ingredient does
- Rice
- Starch that softens as it cooks, thickening the broth slightly and adding body to the soup.
The step that matters
Boil gently until the rice is tender. A rolling boil can break up rice grains and make the soup cloudy, while gentle simmering cooks them evenly until tender.
