Saoto soep is Amsterdam's Surinamese signature: clear chicken broth crowned with bean sprouts, fried potato pieces, hard-boiled egg, fried shallots, sambal on the side. Eaten with rice or a roti wrap.
Saoto soep arrived in Amsterdam with the Surinamese diaspora after Suriname's 1975 independence. The soup traces back to Indonesian-Javanese soto, brought to Suriname by 19th-century Javanese plantation labourers, then carried to Amsterdam by the Surinamese-Hindustani-Javanese community. Warung Mini on Ceintuurbaan and Spang Makandra on Gerard Doustraat are the city's two reference rooms.
