What each ingredient does
- Vermicelli
- Thin pasta pieces that soften in the broth and give the soup its body and bite.
- Bouillon or clear gravy soup
- Forms the liquid base that carries flavour and cooks the vermicelli through.
The step that matters
Adding the vermicelli gradually. Dropping the pasta in lightly and gradually keeps it from clumping into a mass, so each piece cooks evenly and the broth stays clear and separate.
