Ingredients for Lentil and Noodle Soup

  • Fresh herbs (for Ash): Parsley, coriander, and leek – 100 to 150 g

  • Lentils – 1½ cups

  • Ash noodles (Reshteh) – as needed

  • Large onion – 1

  • Tomato paste – 1–2 tablespoons

  • Cumin powder – ¼ teaspoon

  • Black and red pepper – to taste

  • Dried mint – 2 tablespoons

  • Salt and turmeric – to taste

  • Large garlic cloves – 3


Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Chop the onion and sauté it until golden. Add the chopped garlic and continue to fry for a few minutes.

  2. Add tomato paste and spices: Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper, and sauté briefly.

  3. Cook the lentils: Add the pre-soaked lentils, stir for a minute, then pour in water until it reaches about half the pot. Allow the lentils to cook until tender.

  4. Add herbs: Mix in the chopped herbs and let them cook until soft.

  5. Add the noodles: Stir in the Ash noodles and let the soup cook, occasionally stirring. If the soup gets too thick, add a little boiling water—but don’t overdo it. The soup should be neither too thick nor too watery.
