Aush reshteh (pronounced "ash reshteh") is a delicious, thick soup. It comes from Iran and Azerbaijan. This special soup is a type of aush, which means "thick soup" in Persian. It's famous for its thin noodles, called reshteh, and a creamy dairy product called kashk.

This soup is naturally vegetarian. If you don't add the kashk, it can even be a vegan dish! Sometimes, people might add a little meat, but it's usually enjoyed without it.

A Soup with a Long Story

Aush reshteh is a very old soup! Its recipe has changed over many, many years. Around the year 500 AD, noodles were added to the soup. This made it much more like the Aush reshteh we enjoy today.

This special soup is often served during important Iranian celebrations. These include Nowruz (the Persian New Year) and Sizdah Be-dar. It's also a popular dish during the colder autumn and winter months. The noodles in the soup are believed to bring good luck and fortune for the new year!
