What each ingredient does
- Vermicelli
- Pasta that softens in the broth and gives the soup its body and bite.
- Bouillon or clear gravy
- Liquid base that carries the flavor and cooks the pasta as it simmers.
The step that matters
Adding the vermicelli gradually. Dropping the pasta in slowly keeps the broth boiling evenly so the pieces do not clump together or settle and stick to the bottom of the pot.
