Hello culinary lovers. If you are bored with fish side dishes, you should cook this chicken, namely chicken soto. Chicken soto is a type of chicken soup that has a distinctive color, namely yellowish broth. This yellow color comes from the turmeric seasoning used. And the savory taste of the broth and rich in spices makes this dish special.

Did you know, chicken soto has 2 versions, namely the broth using coconut milk and without coconut milk. This time I made it without coconut milk, but the taste is no less delicious. Oh yeah, have you ever made it before, if not, let's see how to make it here

You can mix the soto when you want to eat it, namely by adding shredded chicken, potatoes, bean sprouts and other complementary ingredients then pouring over the soto sauce. However, you can also mix it all directly when the sauce is almost cooked.

Alhamdulillah, my husband and children like it, they even eat very greedily and scoop up the sauce to the last drop on their plates. Haha So I remember when I was in college, I often ate this soto soup in the campus canteen, it tasted really good, refreshing.. My friends and I usually order this chicken soto to be served with white rice, but sometimes chicken soto is also often served with lontong.
