Tips for Success

• Cut the vegetables into similar-sized cubes so they cook evenly.
• Do not overcook the vermicelli — it should stay slightly firm.
• You can add more water if you prefer a thinner soup.
• Fresh dill or parsley at the end adds wonderful freshness and aroma.
• This soup tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded.
