In the Indonesian archipelago, soto is known by different names. In the local Javanese dialect, it is called soto, and the dish also reached Makassar where it is called coto. Soto is found to be most prevalent in Java, and suggested that the hearty soup was originated from that island, and over the years this dish branched off in an assorted array of soto varieties.{{cite news |url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2002/06/30/varieties-039soto039-please-all-types-palates.html |title=Varieties of 'soto' to please all types of palates |first= Claudine |last= Frederik |date=30 June 2002 |work= The Jakarta Post |access-date= 12 January 2015}}

Although soto was undoubtedly developed in the Indonesian archipelago and each region has developed its own distinctive soto recipes, some historians suggest that it was probably influenced by foreign culinary tradition, especially Hokkien Chinese. Denys Lombard in his book Le Carrefour Javanais suggested that the origin of soto was a Hokkien Chinese soup, caudo ({{zh|c=牛草肚|poj=gû-chháu-tō͘|l=beef tripe}}),{{Cite book |last=小川 (OGAWA) |first=尚義 (Naoyoshi) |url=http://ip194097.ntcu.edu.tw/memory/TGB/data/TJTST1/TJTST1_%E9%A0%81%E9%9D%A2_409.png |title=臺日大辭典 |publisher=Governor-General of Taiwan |year=1932 |location=Taihoku (Taipei) |pages=395 |language=ja, nan-tw (using Taiwanese kana) |oclc=25747241}} popular in Semarang among Chinese immigrants during colonial VOC era, circa 17th century.{{cite web |url=http://www.cnnindonesia.com/gaya-hidup/20141203080341-262-15443/jejak-akulturasi-dalam-semangkuk-soto/ |title=Jejak Akulturasi dalam Semangkuk Soto |author= Windratie|date=3 December 2014 |publisher=CNN Indonesia |language=id |access-date=12 January 2015}}

Another scholar suggests that it was more likely a mixture of cooking traditions in the region, namely Chinese, Indian, and native Indonesian cuisine.Simatupang, Lono. Universitas Gadjah Mada Anthropology There are traces of Chinese influence such as the use of bihun (rice vermicelli) and the preference for fried garlic as a condiment, while the use of turmeric suggests Indian influence. Another example is soto betawi from Jakarta uses minyak samin (ghee), which indicates Arab or Muslim Indian influences.{{cite web| title= 'Cipratan' Luar Ke Dalam | publisher=Femina|url=http://www.femina.co.id/kuliner/info.kuliner/cipratan.luar.ke.dalam/004/002/465|language=id|access-date=1 February 2015}} Another historian suggest that some soto recipe reflects the past condition of its people. Soto tangkar, which today is a meat soup, was mostly made from the broth of goat rib-cage bones (Betawi:tangkar) in the past because meat was expensive, or the common population of Batavia were too poor to afford some meat back then.{{cite news|title=Betawi cuisine, a culinary journey through history |first= Maria |last= Endah Hulupi |date=22 June 2003 |newspaper=The Jakarta Post |url= http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2003/06/22/betawi-cuisine-culinary-journey-through-history.html|access-date=30 January 2015}} Soto recipes has been highly localized according to local tradition and available ingredients, for example in Hindu-majority island of Bali, soto babi (pork soto) can be found, since Hindu Balinese prefer pork while beef is seldom consumed, they also do not share Indonesian Muslim halal dietary law that forbids the consumption of pork.

The meat soup dish influenced various regions and each developed its own recipes, with the ingredients being highly localized according to available ingredients and local cooking traditions. As a result, rich variants of soto were developed across Indonesia.

In 2018, soto was officially recognised by the Indonesian government as one of the country's five national dishes: the others are nasi goreng, sate, rendang, and gado-gado. Also in 2018, soto is promoted in Asian Festival in Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex during 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta as a dish that represent the diversity of Indonesia. With the theme "Unity in Diversoto" presented in the food court, visitors had the opportunity to samples various regional sotos of Indonesia, thus it has become visitors' favourite in Asian Festival during 2018 Asian Games.{{Cite web|title=Warga Asian Games menyukai soto di Asian Fest|url=https://jogja.antaranews.com/berita/360043/warga-asian-games-menyukai-soto-di-asian-fest|access-date=2021-03-25|website=Antara News Yogyakarta|date=31 August 2018 |language=id-ID}}

The spread of soto in Indonesian archipelago was followed by the localization of Soto's recipe, according to available ingredients and distinctive local taste. As the result, myriad soto recipes and variations can be found throughout Indonesia.

The meats that are most commonly used are chicken and beef, but there are also variations with offal, mutton, and water buffalo meat. Pork is seldom used in traditional Indonesian soto; however, in Hindu majority Bali, soto babi (pork soto) can be found.{{cite web| url=http://babigulingburai.blogspot.com/2011/12/sup-babi-pig-soup.html | title= Sup Babi ( Pig Soup ), Babi Guling Bu Rai Beras Merah| date=December 5, 2011 | language=id| access-date= August 15, 2014}} The soup is usually accompanied by rice or compressed rice cakes (lontong, ketupat or burasa). Offal is considered as a delicacy: the rumen (blanket/flat/smooth tripe), reticulum (honeycomb and pocket tripe), omasum (book/bible/leaf tripe), and the intestines are all eaten.

Other ingredients of soto include soun alternatively spelled as sohun or bihun (rice vermicelli), mung bean sprouts and scallion. Common soto spices include shallots, garlic, turmeric, galangal, ginger, coriander, salt, candlenut, and pepper.

The colour, thickness and consistency of soto soup could vary according to each recipes. Soto can have a light and clear broth just like soto bandung, a yellow transparent broth (coloured with turmeric) like the one that can be found in soto ayam, or a rich and thick coconut milk or milk broth just like those in soto kaki or soto betawi.

Soto in Malaysia and Singapore has a certain expected clear-soup look made of chicken broth, with spicy taste mixed with rice cubes.{{cite web|title=The Authoritative Soto| first= Nadge |last= Ariffin |date=2 January 2009 |publisher=Friedchillies.com |url=http://www.friedchillies.com/articles/detail/the-authoritative-soto |access-date=2 February 2015}} It seems that soto served there derived from common soto ayam type with a clear and slightly yellow-coloured broth, pretty much similar to East Javanese soto lamongan or soto madura. Like many dishes, it may have been brought into the country by the many Javanese migrants in the early 20th century.
