What are soup noodles? It is a type of pasta similar to spaghetti, but finer and thinner than them. It is used in Italian cuisine (originating there), Spanish, Chinese and others.
It is most often used as an addition to soups, because the noodles add thickness to thin soup. Rice is sometimes used instead and croutons are very suitable for cream soups.
Any soup will be nutritious and delicious if noodles are added to it—whether chicken or vegetable. The noodles in the soup should be added at the end of the cooking process, because they only need a few minutes to cook.
Depending on the amount of soup and the desired thickness, you will need about one or two handfuls of this thin thickening pasta to give the dish a finished appearance.
An example of soups, for which it is appropriate to add noodles to are chicken soup, as we said, or one with different types of meat - pork, rabbit, lamb; spinach soup, mushroom soup, meatball soup, dock soup, tomato soup, nettle soup and vegetable soup.
According to the recipe, the required amount of noodles for soup can also vary.
Besides for soups, noodles can replace many types of pasta in different dishes. They are can be cooked with milk and sugar, with white cheese, fried with meat, mushrooms or other vegetables, eggs (found in Asian cuisine) or even used as a pie filling.
