My oldest son loves this soup big time although I hardly prepare it with complete sides as I would in Indonesia. Sheer laziness but also, Covid 19 (for today’s excuse lol) makes it hard to grocery shopping.
In Indonesia we would normally serve this soup with glass noodle PLUS rice, shredded cabbage, potato fritters, and so on.
