  4. Add the paprika & stir in until it begins to all clump together, add a little salt & pepper to taste

  5. Pour over the stock & lemon juice if using

Not much salt is needed because the stock already has an adequate amount, but feel free to add to your liking. Simmer until the vermicelli is cooked, soup begins to thicken & looks rich.
