Verawaty's Soto Betawi (Indonesian Beef Soup)

Soto Betawi is a beloved slow-cooked beef soup that hails from Jakarta, Indonesia. Known for its rich and hearty flavour, this dish features a creamy coconut milk broth that gives it its signature milky-white appearance. It’s one of the most iconic and popular soups in Jakarta. This dish takes time, as the beef is slow-cooked to develop deep flavour and tenderness, but the result is absolutely worth the wait.

"Growing up, my family would visit my grandmother every weekend, and once a month she would make her special Soto Betawi. I loved it so much that I asked my mum to start making it at home — and it quickly became a family favourite."
