Soften diced red pepper in a little oil, add beef broth and bring it to a boil, then stir in vermicelli and cook until tender. The noodles keep absorbing liquid as the soup stands, so loosen leftovers with a little hot broth or water.
Vermicelli soup with beef broth and red pepper is made with beef broth, vermicelli noodles and red pepper. Some versions also include onion, tomato paste or herbs, but those are optional and vary with the cook’s recipe.
Thin, short vermicelli works especially well in vermicelli soup with beef broth and red pepper because it cooks quickly and is easy to spoon. Rice vermicelli is a different noodle and can become soft quickly, so follow its package cooking time.
Yes, store-bought beef broth works in vermicelli soup with beef broth and red pepper. Taste it before adding salt, since packaged broth can already be salty; a low-sodium broth gives you more control over the final seasoning.
Add the diced red pepper before the broth and briefly sauté it to bring out its aroma while keeping its shape. For a firmer, fresher pepper texture, add it with the broth instead and simmer until it reaches the tenderness you like.
Cook the vermicelli just until tender and serve vermicelli soup with beef broth and red pepper soon after cooking. For make-ahead portions, store cooked noodles separately from the broth and combine them when reheating; this limits how much liquid they absorb.
It is a version of Turkish şehriye soup: şehriye means small pasta, often vermicelli, cooked in broth. This version is specifically made with beef broth and red pepper, while other Turkish recipes may use different broths or additions.
Crusty bread, a simple salad or a squeeze of lemon pairs well with vermicelli soup with beef broth and red pepper. Serve it as a light first course, or alongside a vegetable dish for a more complete meal.
Vermicelli soup with beef broth and red pepper keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat, adding broth or water if it has thickened.
Yes, you can freeze vermicelli soup with beef broth and red pepper, but the noodles may turn soft after thawing. For better texture, freeze the beef broth and pepper base without vermicelli, then add freshly cooked noodles after reheating.

Vermicelli soup with beef broth and red pepper is a comforting, home-style soup made by simmering small pasta in beef broth with red pepper. The broth gives it a savoury depth, while the pepper brings a gentle sweetness and colour; the noodles soften as they cook.
In Turkey, it is often served as a first course at lunch or dinner, or enjoyed as a simple bowl with bread. It also makes an easy warming meal on a chilly day. The broth contributes protein and iron, while the vermicelli adds carbohydrates; overall, it is a hearty soup with some vegetables. For a lighter bowl, use less oil and add extra pepper or other vegetables.
