Origin
Sop saudara was created by Haji Dollahi, he was working for Haji Subair, a famous Coto Makassar traditional meat soup seller in Makassar circa 1950s. Both men hailed from a town in Pangkajene Islands Regency (Pangkajene Kepulauan or Pangkep) and made their business in selling traditional meat soup.
After three years working for Haji Subair, Haji Dollahi decided to establish his own business in 1957. His first stall was located in Karebosi area, Makassar. The name "sop saudara" which means "brotherly soup" was inspired from the name coto paraikatte (the name of warung that sells Coto Makassar). In Makassar dialect, paraikatte means "relative", "fellow" or "kin", thus Haji Dollahi wished the soup will promote a brotherly sentiment with his customers.
