Indonesian Chicken-Peanut Soup - {Soto Ayam} Recipe - Cooking Index
This earthy and complex soup brings to mind hot tropical suns and perfumed air. It's exotic but pleasantly so -- and is a wonderful start to roast pork, broiled fish, or other plain fare. Selamat makan! (or, "good eating").
Courses: Soup4 cups | 948ml | Chicken stock |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Soy sauce |
1 1/2 tablespoons | 22ml | Molasses |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Fresh lemon juice |
2 | Garlic cloves - pressed or mashed | |
1/4 cup | 49g / 1.7oz | Peanut butter |
1/3 cup | 48g / 1.7oz | Peanuts - chopped |
1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Slivered cooked chicken |
1/2 cup | 31g / 1.1oz | Sliced green onions in rounds |
Garnish | ||
Green onions - sliced lengthwise | ||
Into thin strips |
In a large saucepan, combine the stock, soy sauce, molasses, lemon juice, and garlic. It seems like an awful combination at first, but it mellows together into a savory broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes.
Whisk in the peanut butter, then simmer for 5 more minutes.
When ready to serve, stir in the peanuts, chicken, and scallions. Heat through, then ladle into soup bowls and lattice the tops with scallion strips. Serve immediately.
Serve hot as a first course in small bowls to 4 to 6 people.
