Hello Lovelies!
Another cold day today, plus very windy. What a combo. My husband texted me from work when he arrived, saying the blowing snow was bad for driving. At least today is only -28 C ????
I have been making soup(s) due to the extreme cold weather. So happy no complaints from my youngest. That one doesn’t really like “wet” food ? Even salsa on taco, nope. Dripping salsa means I’d rather starve, mom ????
I guess as he is getting older, he will have less complaints, hopefully. Here is crossing fingers ?
Today’s recipe vlog is Indonesian chicken soup. Most of the times I would call it as Chicken NOODLE Soup, however I didn’t use any kinds of noodle this time. So it is chicken TURMERIC soup instead, as turmeric is always one of the main spices in this soup. My oldest always calls it YELLOW soup tho ?
In Indonesia we call this soup Soto Ayam ?
Half pot of water
2 skinless boneless chicken breast
