What each ingredient does

Vermicelli
Provides the starchy strands that soften in the stock and thicken the soup slightly.
Clear medium stock
Forms the liquid base that carries the flavor and cooks the pasta.

The step that matters

Simmer gently while stirring. Vigorous boiling can break up the thin pasta and make the soup cloudy, while frequent stirring keeps strands from clumping and sticking to the pot.
