This is one of my favourite, one pot, quick, easy, nourishing soups to make. Perfect for a lunch or dinner. It is so rich in flavour and the noodles go beautifully with it. "Soto ayam" is from Indonesia. It is a yellow spicy chicken soup with lontong or or vermicelli or noodles. To make it lower in carbs, I use konjac noodles, which are free from carbs. They work incredibly well and I really recommend them as a grain free alternative. Turmeric is added as one of its ingredients to get the vibrant yellow chicken broth. I have added my own twist to the soup, but it was inspired from a trip we took to Indonesia in 2014.

Method
In to a deep pan, melt your coconut oil. Add in the sliced spring onion and red pepper. Fry off for a few minutes. Add in the ginger, garlic and coat the onion and pepper in it.
Now add in the chicken. Cook until all sides of the chicken are white. Reduce the heat if it is starting to stick.
