What each ingredient does
- Tapioca
- Thickens the stock as its starch gelatinizes during boiling, giving the soup body.
The step that matters
Gradually add the tapioca while stirring continuously. Tapioca starch clumps when dumped in at once, and clumps stay raw in the center. Adding it slowly while stirring keeps the granules separated so they hydrate and thicken evenly.
