About Soto ayam
Soto Ayam is a traditional Indonesian chicken soup with a rich, aromatic broth flavored by spices such as turmeric, lemongrass, and shallots. Originating as a street food staple in Indonesia, it is now popular across Southeast Asia. Typically served with shredded chicken, boiled eggs, vegetables, rice or vermicelli noodles, and garnished with lime and fried shallots, it is both hearty and nutritious. A standard serving can provide a good balance of macronutrients, with lean protein from chicken, carbs from rice or noodles, and various vitamins and minerals from its spice-rich base and vegetable toppings.

How does Soto Ayam compare to other chicken soups?
