This recipe was extracted from The spirit of cookery (1895) by Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Thudichum, page 114. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

two quarts of standard broth moderately flavoured with roots and herbs, or bits of fowl or game, and let it boil ten minutes longer. Send Parma cheese on a plate for each diner to help himself. Clear or Plain Vermicelli Soup. — Vermicelli, being made of the same paste as macaroni, but of very much thinner shape, are cooked much more quickly than the latter. Take half a pound of vermicelli, break them short, and keep them for three minutes in boiling water to remove any extraneous flavour which they may have acquired; drain them in a sieve, and put them in a stewpan with two quarts of any finished broth ; boil until the vermicelli are done, which will take less than half an hour. Send to table with Par- mesan, or a mixture of Parma and Gruyere, cheese. As vermicelli are quickly cooked, they are useful for producing soup in a short time. They are more voluminous than macaroni, and hence half a pound only must be used with two quarts of standard broth, while of macaroni a whole pound can be put into the same quantity. When it is intended to produce a less nutritious and more liquid soup, 60 grammes of any kind of paste to the litre of finished broth is a good proportion. Plain Soup of Italian Paste, or Star Noxdlles. — The stars or paste of any shape require previous ablution with boiling water, like the vermicelli, but a little longer boiling in brotb. Plain Sotip of Lasagnes. — These ribbon-like forms of macaroni paste have to be treated in all respects like macaroni. SEMOLINA, NOUILLES, OR NUDELN 169 Compound Mucawni Soup. — This is a savoury macaroni soup, with the addition of a liaison of egg-yolks. Ten ounces of pipe-macaroni to two quarts of standard broth are adequate. Compound Macaroni Sotip with Cheese and Tomatoes. — The tomatoes are added as a puree to the soup.
