What each ingredient does
- Vermicelli
- Thin pasta strands that soften in the broth and thicken the soup slightly as their starch releases.
The step that matters
Adding the vermicelli to the boil. Dropping the pasta in very lightly keeps the strands from clumping into a single mass. Gentle simmering afterward, with frequent stirring, prevents the starch from settling and scorching on the pot bottom.
