What each ingredient does
- Minute tapioca
- Thickens the soup as its starch swells and gelatinizes when heated.
- Tomato soup
- Forms the liquid base and carries the tomato flavor through the dish.
The step that matters
Cook for 15 minutes before removing from the stove.. Tapioca starch only thickens fully once it is heated long enough for its granules to swell and become clear. Removing the pot early can leave the soup thin or grainy-textured.
