Rice Soup with Chicken, Seafood, and Mushroom

An elegant preparation of northern Vietnam, this soup is special-occasion fare.

Tapioca pearls thicken the soup and lend an interesting shimmer, and the halved shrimp turn into pink corkscrews as they cook, adding a final flourish to the presentation.
