Indonesian Chicken Soup (Soto Ayam)
No matter where you are in the world, there is a soup that serves as both sustenance and salve. Home cook Erida Wahyuningsih and chef Degan Septoadgi taught us that in Indonesia, the chicken soup called soto ayam is that dish.
Don’t use boneless chicken parts for this soup. Bones and skin contain collagen, which lends the broth richness and body. Also, for a clearer broth, don’t forget to skim the foam that floats to the surface during simmering.
