Iranian Noodle Soup (Ash-E Reshteh)

Iranian noodle soup called ash-e reshteh is a traditional Persian soup made for New Years. Noodles are believed to bring good fortune. reshteh is a type of egg noodle that can be found in Middle Eastern markets. It is similar to linguine which can be substituted for reshteh. This recipe also call for that delicious sour farmers cheese called kashk. If you can’t find it you can substitute 1/2 cup of sour cream. This soup is very hearty and can easily be served as a meal by itself. We served small portions as part of our journey to Iran meal. It was served alongside a plate of fresh herbs and vegetables. Delicious!
