Korko Soup



Korko soup is supposedly a specialty of Cambodia, however, the Khmer Kitchen in Seim Reap was the only place in the entire country that served it as far as I could tell, and I most certainly looked everywhere we ate because it was one of the best meals I've had all trip. The soup is quite thick as you can tell, and comes with a variety of meats. I got mine with shrimp of which there were plenty. The broth is akin to maybe a pumpkin curry and indeed it had pumpkin in it as well as some odd grain similar to quinoa though the menu asserted it was roasted rice. Also floating along with the shrimps were spinach and obergine. It was utterly delicous and I urge any reader to look up the recipe. I found several hits on google.com but did not investigate any further. I leave it to you and your faster internet and superior computers (I think the one I'm using now is the very same one I learned on in middle school). Anyhow, this meal gets a whopping 5 forks as I cannot think of anything it was missing.
