Persian-Style Lentil Meatball Soup. The Persian word for soup is ash (a is pronounced as a in arms) and the word for cook (ashpaz) actually means one who makes soups. Back to the story of how my green lentil, tomato and coriander soup/stew recipe was born. To be honest, I first meant to cook spicey lentils for a quick.
