What each ingredient does

- Forms the body of the soup as it softens and absorbs some of the broth.
- Gravy-soup
- Serves as the clear liquid base that carries the flavor of the dish.
The step that matters
Adding the vermicelli gradually to the boiling soup. Dropping in all the pasta at once lets the pieces stick together in clumps. Adding it slowly keeps the strands separate so they cook evenly in the simmering liquid.
