Recipe by Graham

Chicken Vermicelli Soup is probably the easiest soup you'll ever make since it takes only three minutes to cook and the ingredients are few and readily available. Having said that, it's tasty and filling and is great for a quick snack or light lunch.

Vermicelli is a spaghetti-type pasta though much smaller - diameter less than 0.06 inches (1.5 mm) whereas spaghetti has diameter between 0.06 and 0.11 inches (1.5 and 2.8 mm). Vermicelli means "little worms" in Italian. It is known as seviyen in the Indian subcontinent.
