How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Heat the vegetable oil

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.

    4 min

  2. Add the vermicelli noodles

    Add the vermicelli noodles to the pot. Stir constantly to toast the noodles until they turn a golden brown color. Be careful not to burn them.

    3 min

  3. Pour in the broth

    Pour in the broth and add the black pepper, salt, and turmeric. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. Reduce the heat to low

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the vermicelli is tender and has absorbed some of the liquid.

    15 min

  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

A little kitchen wisdom

Toasting the vermicelli until golden brown is the secret to a deep, nutty flavor and prevents the noodles from becoming too mushy.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

The soup can be made ahead, but the noodles will continue to absorb liquid over time. Add more broth when reheating to restore the soup consistency.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the noodles.
