Noom Pachok

I got this recipe from a grandmother in Phnom Penh. It’s normally eaten for breakfast in Cambodia, but westerners would probably consider it lunch or dinner food. If you can’t find the powdered rice root, don’t worry, it’s not that importaint. For the toasted rice powder, toast the rice in a dry pan until brown and grind to a powder.

Bulgarian Lentil Soup

This is a fast, delicious, nutritious recipe for lentils. You can have it plain or spicy and hot, you can add veggies or just do with the lentils.

Curried Mussel and Butternut Squash Soup

In the Middle Ages, Flemish cities were at the crossroads of the Northern spice routes, and brewers and cooks both took advantage of exotic spices. According to Food & Wine, you’ll see that influence in this curried soup and in the Blanche de Bruges that is its ideal wheat beer accompaniment. MAKE AHEAD: The curried soup can be prepared through Step 1 and refrigerated overnight.
