From www.iranonline.com. Kashk is available in middle eastern grocery stores. It can be substituted by sour cream. The recipe didn't state serving numbers so I have guestimated.

This soup was easy to make and very delicious. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it turned out great. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro, which added a nice fresh flavor. I will definitely be making this again!

I'm not a big fan of barley, but this soup was really good! The barley was soft and chewy, and the vegetables were tender. The broth was also very flavorful, with a nice balance of spices.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less cayenne pepper.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices. The barley and vegetables were cooked well, but the broth was a bit too watery.
