Sayur Sop

I like to eat this Vegetables Soup (Sayur Sop) when the day is cloudy … when I need something to warm me. It remind me of my mother that used to cook it for us, together with fried crispy Chicken, Perkedel (potato croquettes) or kering tempe. This soup maybe can make your cloudy day feel lots better!
