What each ingredient does
- Tapioca
- Thickens the broth as its starch swells and gelatinizes during simmering.
- Consommé or broth
- Forms the liquid base of the soup and carries its savory flavor.
The step that matters
Slowly add the tapioca while stirring. Tapioca starch granules hydrate and swell quickly on contact with hot liquid. Adding it slowly while stirring spreads the granules evenly and prevents lumps from forming.
