What each ingredient does

Vermicelli
Provides the starch that thickens the soup slightly and gives it body as it simmers.

The step that matters

Adding the vermicelli gradually. Dropping the pasta in slowly keeps the boiling bouillon from cooling sharply, so the noodles cook evenly and the broth stays at a steady simmer.
