What each ingredient does
- Vermicelli
- Thin pasta strands that soften in the broth and give the soup its body and texture.
- Bouillon or clear gravy soup
- Provides the liquid base and savory flavor the pasta absorbs as it cooks.
The step that matters
Adding the vermicelli gradually. Dropping the pasta in lightly and gradually keeps it from clumping into a mass. Stirring during the simmer keeps the strands separated and prevents them from sticking to the pot bottom.
