Soup noodles

Soup noodles are a type of pasta in the shape of thin strips or other small forms, intended primarily for cooking in soups. They are made from wheat flour and eggs, or without eggs in an egg-free variant. They are available in various sizes, from very thin vermicelli to wider types. Once cooked, they are soft but still retain a slight bite. They are added especially to beef, chicken, or vegetable broths, where they give the soup added heartiness and texture. They are quick to prepare, cooking takes just a few minutes. They are a beloved part of home-cooked and restaurant soups around the world.
