List of Indonesian soups

This is a list of Indonesian soups. Indonesian cuisine is diverse, in part because Indonesia is composed of approximately 6,000 populated islands of the total 18,000 in the world's largest archipelago,[1] with more than 1,300 ethnic groups.[2] Many regional cuisines exist, often based upon indigenous culture and foreign influences.[1] Indonesian soups are known to be flavoursome with generous amount of bumbu spice mixture.
