Add the prepared shallots, garlic, turmeric powder, and oil to a blender.

Blend all the ingredients until a smooth paste is formed. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender occasionally to ensure everything is incorporated.

Heat a pan over medium heat.

Transfer the blended paste into the hot pan.

Stir the paste continuously in the pan to prevent it from sticking or burning.

Cook the paste until it becomes fragrant and the oil visibly separates from the paste. This indicates that the moisture has cooked out and the flavors have melded.

Once cooked, transfer the soto paste into a clean, airtight container for storage. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for longer periods.
