Method

  1. Put the pork mince, garlic, onion, half the parsley, the chilli flakes, breadcrumbs, and half the Parmesan in a bowl. Mix using clean hands, season really well and form into little meatballs.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick pan. Fry the meatballs until golden all over, then scoop out. Add the chicken stock to the pan and bring to a simmer. Add the vermicelli and cook for a minute. Add back the meatballs and keep on a gentle simmer until the vermicelli is cooked through. Stir in the other half of the parsley and serve in bowls with the rest of Parmesan sprinkled over.

Used spring onions not normal onion - worked really well. Spring onions don't take long to cook thru and v tasty with pork mince and chillies.

I used scotch bonnet chillies, penne pasta and put fresh onion slices in the soup for a bit of depth to the textures. Absolutely delicious!

It was yummy, even though a little complicated to eat. I added some carrots because there's no soup without carrots.

Left out the chili, couldn't get vermicelli so I used rice noodles and added peas for some veg content - result - a delicious soup the whole family enjoyed, highly recommended!
