Soups

Indonesian soups showcase bold flavors and are filled with easy to find,

nutritious ingredients. My personal favorites change from day to day—
there are so many delicious soups, it’s hard to decide. Indonesia’s

version of Chicken Noodle Soup (page 49) features thin cellophane
noodles and tender pieces of shredded chicken with the summery scent

of lemongrass in every bite. Oxtail Soup (page 41) is a must for meat
lovers with the garlic and pepper infused oxtail meat falling off the bones

and melting in your mouth. Some Indonesian soups are incredibly light
and healthy, making them a perfect alternative to heavier meals while

others are heavenly sinful, enjoyed as meals in themselves.
