What each ingredient does
- Semolina
- Thickens the stock as it simmers, giving the soup body and a light, grainy texture.
- Stock
- Forms the liquid base of the soup and carries its flavor.
The step that matters
Simmer the semolina gently. Semolina can clump and settle on the bottom if the stock is not kept at a gentle simmer while it is added. Steady, moderate heat lets the grains hydrate evenly and thicken the liquid smoothly.
