Lentils, black eyed peas and fine noodles make up this soup. Meatballs are dropped into simmering soup and garnished with mint, pepper and cinnamon. Ashe is the Persian word for soup and a cook is an Ash-Paz or “maker of the soup.” Soups are as important today in the cuisine of modern Iran as they were in ancient Persia.
