Sambar with a Spin
My wife was sick today and she finds that spicy food seem to help her feel better.
So South Asian lentil base Sambar soup for dinner, but I added some leaks, ginger, peas and orzo to give it some heartiness.
Very hot, since a big part of the base is ground chilly powders.

Saucy!
Heat, spiciness, and ginger are all helpful for relieving the sinuses, so it makes sense! My favorite food when sick is pho for similar reasons. Also, deliciousness.
Phở is great, especially if you add their house made chilli oil. 😀
I like chili garlic sauce.
