Zom is a traditionalYemenite Jewish soup that is most commonly served as part of theYom Kippurbreak fast among those in theYemenite Jewish community, mostly inIsrael.[1]
"“My mom putchallah in the oven until it was crispy and we’d eat the zom withsamnah,schug and challah, it’s comforting, it’s hot, and it’s nice after you haven’t eaten for two days. I still eat it every year, after 38 years this is the dish we eat after Yom Kippur.”
— Rinat Tzadok, Yemenite Israeli chef and cookbook author, Jewish Food Society[1]
Zom is typically made by mixing together variousIsraeli soft cheeses such as the 5% and 9% fat varieties, which are similar to quark or strained yogurt, along with water, a thickener such as flour, and salt. Other Jewish communities such as theBulgarian Jews eat a similar soup.[2] Zom is traditionally consumed after the observance of Yom Kippur as part of breaking the fast, and is accompanied by samneh (a smoked, fermentedclarified butter), schug (a Yemenite Jewish green chili hot sauce), and bread such as challah orkubaneh which is used for dipping.[1][3]
