Mushroom Medley Soup Sop Jamur

In all its complexity and variety of flavors, Indonesian cooking can often be
deliciously simple, featuring fresh ingredients and easy techniques that showcase its
bold and bright flavors. I learned the secret to this very simple Mushroom Medley
Soup from a Japanese Indonesian chef at a hotel in Jakarta. I was fortunate enough to
have tasted his soup and I was so overwhelmed by the light aroma and savory flavors
that I had to ask him about his secret. As always, it comes down to using the finest,
freshest ingredients available. Here is my version of this easy, quick, and incredibly

nutritious soup.
