ASH-E-JOW (IRANIAN/PERSIAN BARLEY SOUP)
I've seen a lot of recipes for this soup; however, my mother-in-law adds tomato paste for a bit of a different flavour and she doesn't add any lentils or beans. It's thick, filling, and delicious, and you could make it vegetarian by using vegetable stock.

Tips:
- Use high-quality barley: Look for whole, plump barley grains that are free of debris and impurities.
- Soak the barley overnight: Soaking the barley helps to soften it and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a variety of beans: This will add flavor and texture to the soup.
- Don't overcook the barley: The barley should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- Add the herbs at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their flavor.
- Serve with yogurt and fresh herbs: This is a traditional way to serve Ash-e Jow and adds a delicious tanginess.
Conclusion:
Ash-e Jow is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very healthy soup, as it is packed with nutrients from the barley, beans, and vegetables. If you are looking for a new and exciting soup to try, I highly recommend Ash-e Jow.
