Tomato soup with fine, short vermicelli strands, finished with parsley.
A bowl of soup is one of the simplest yet warmest ways to begin a meal. The fine, short strands of vermicelli give tomato soup a light texture. Made with a few everyday ingredients, this familiar favourite is equally at home before a weekday meal or at a table set for loved ones.
Begin by cooking grated tomato in a little olive oil. Add hot water or your preferred vegetable stock and stir. Add the vermicelli once the mixture is boiling, following the cooking time on the pack. Stir the soup gently from time to time to keep the strands from sticking together.
Vermicelli can absorb liquid as it stands, so check the consistency before serving. Add hot water if needed to reach the thickness you prefer. Finish with finely chopped parsley and serve lemon wedges separately at the table. Made with Nur Makarna Vermicelli, this soup brings the familiar feeling of home to a bowl without needing an elaborate presentation.
