Chicken broth soup with vermicelli is a simple soup made by simmering fine, short pasta in chicken broth. It is a familiar home-style dish in Turkey, where cooks may add shredded chicken and season it according to the household’s taste.
The broth is savoury and light, while the vermicelli softens as it cooks. Serve it hot as a starter or a small meal; a squeeze of lemon and bread alongside are easy additions. Its broth provides some protein, while the pasta contributes carbohydrates, making it a modest, balanced choice rather than a rich soup. At 38 calories per 100 g, it can suit a lighter meal; add extra shredded chicken if you’d like it to be more filling.

Chicken broth soup with vermicelli usually contains chicken broth, thin vermicelli pasta, and simple seasoning such as salt and pepper. Shredded cooked chicken, parsley, or a squeeze of lemon can be added, but none is essential to the basic soup.
To make chicken broth soup with vermicelli, bring chicken broth to a simmer, add the pasta, and cook until tender. Season the broth first, and stir occasionally so the fine noodles do not settle or stick to the bottom of the pot.
Not exactly. Chicken broth soup with vermicelli is a simple broth-based soup featuring very fine pasta, while chicken noodle soup often includes larger noodles and pieces of chicken and vegetables. Recipes vary, but vermicelli gives this version a lighter, finer texture.
Yes, homemade chicken broth works very well in chicken broth soup with vermicelli and gives it a fuller chicken flavor. Strain the broth before adding the pasta so that bones or small solids do not end up in the finished soup.
Yes, leftover roast chicken can be shredded and added to chicken broth soup with vermicelli. Stir it in near the end, just long enough to heat through; adding it earlier can make the cooked meat dry and stringy.
The vermicelli gets mushy when it keeps absorbing broth after it is cooked, especially if the soup sits or is reheated. For a firmer texture, cook the pasta separately and add it to each bowl, or put it into the pot just before serving.
Yes, lemon is a good finishing touch for chicken broth soup with vermicelli; its acidity brightens the savory broth. Add a squeeze to each serving rather than the whole pot, so the soup does not become too sour as it is stored.
Parsley is a familiar finishing herb for chicken broth soup with vermicelli, while dill or a little thyme can also work. Add fresh herbs just before serving so their aroma stays noticeable instead of fading during simmering.
Chicken broth soup with vermicelli keeps for about 3–4 days in the refrigerator when cooled promptly and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you need until it is steaming hot, since repeated warming softens the pasta further.
Yes, chicken broth soup with vermicelli can be frozen, but the pasta may turn very soft after thawing. For better texture, freeze the broth without vermicelli, then add freshly cooked pasta when you reheat it.
