Soto Ayam – Indonesian Golden Chicken Soup (includes surprise complimentary dessert)

A whole-body healer from Ragna’s Table.

I’m so excited to make this deeply comforting dish—one that instantly transports me back to my time living in Indonesia. The aroma of lemongrass, the warmth of turmeric, and the soulful blend of spice and comfort feel like home in a bowl.

This version of Soto Ayam starts with whole organic chicken, slowly simmered to create a broth rich in collagen, amino acids, and trace minerals. These elements help repair the gut lining, support joint and skin health, and provide immune resilience from the inside out. A generous swirl of full-fat coconut milk delivers creamy flavor along with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs)—plant-based fats that fuel the brain, balance hormones, and keep you full and energized.

At the heart of the soup is a golden sautéed paste of organic turmeric, garlic, shallots, and warming spices—each one bringing antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and natural detoxification support. The homemade broth is poured into this base to absorb its rich medicinal benefits.

The bowl is layered with shredded chicken, organic cabbage, and crisp mung bean sprouts, each ingredient chosen to nourish and fortify. Cabbage and sprouts are packed with fiber, prebiotics, and vitamin C, supporting digestion and immune health. Served over gluten-free glass noodles, the dish is light yet satisfying, offering sustained energy without weighing you down.

A soft-boiled organic egg adds a boost of high-quality protein, choline for brain health, and omega-3s for anti-inflammatory support. A bright squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of crispy shallots and fresh herbs awaken the palate and the senses.

This soup isn’t just food—it’s functional medicine. Every element works together to restore balance, build strength, and support wellness. Made with mostly organic ingredients and deep ancestral roots, Soto Ayam is a radiant, restorative dish that nourishes the body, uplifts the spirit, and brings memory to life—straight from Ragna’s Table.
