Aash Reshteh is a hearty Persian noodle soup with fresh herbs and legumes. Reshteh means noodles. The type of noodles used in this particular Aash is called reshteh aash, which are flat flour noodles. Aash Reshteh is very popular in Iran, whether enjoying a hot pot of it for a Friday lunch with the family, or cooking gallons of it in giant pots to share as votive ‘nazri’ with anyone who is hungry. I use homemade beef or chicken stock in this aash, but vegetable stock or water may be substituted for a vegetarian version.
