Persian Noodle Soup (Ash Reshteh)
The word ‘Ash’ is used to describe a thick soup and ‘reshte’ means Persian noodles. In Persian cuisine we have many varieties of Ash (over 50!) but Ash Reshte is the most popular across Persian households. It is also the chosen soup that is served during the festivities leading up to Nowruz (the Persian New Year).
Made with noodles, chickpeas, beans, fresh herbs and Persian soured yoghurt, this soup is thick, creamy and intensely aromatic. Ash Reshte is rich in nutrients and a satisfying meal by itself.
