What each ingredient does
- Vermicelli
- Forms the body of the soup and absorbs broth as it softens.
- Rich broth
- Provides the main liquid and savory flavor for the soup.
The step that matters
Cook the vermicelli until tender. Noodles keep softening in hot broth after they leave the heat, so pulling them when just tender prevents them from turning mushy in the bowl.
