Soto Ayam is a traditional Indonesian chicken soup infused with aromatic herbs and spices, such as turmeric, lemongrass, and galangal. This beloved dish has a rich history dating back to the 19th century, originating from the Javanese culture. It has since become a staple in Indonesian cuisine, with each region adding its own unique twist. Renowned chefs like William Wongso have elevated the dish, while restaurants in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya are celebrated for their authentic Soto Ayam. The key to a perfect Soto Ayam lies in the flavorful broth and the tender, succulent chicken. For a twist, some chefs add coconut milk for a creamy texture. Today, the best versions of Soto Ayam can be found in street food stalls and local eateries across Indonesia.
