Peel the carrots and dice it, cube the potatoes and cut each tomato into four pieces. Finally peel the onion and cut into four pieces
4) Boiling the soup
Pour water till it fills half the pot. Turn to medium heat and Boil the water. When it is boiled pour chicken stock till 3/4 of the pot’s volume is filled.
5) Add the Fried Egg and Vermicelli
After 30 mins add the fried egg and vermicelli into the soup, and use a spoon to mix.

There you go! Wasn’t that simple!
