This weekend's challenge theme is Various Soto, and I immediately thought of making soto from beef brisket as a way to make up for indulging in too many keto snacks instead of real food these past few days. 😁😂😂

Note: I use whole bird's eye chilies because I'm too lazy to grind them, so when it's time to eat, I just crush them in the bowl. 😁
