Āsh — the Persian thick soup tradition — is among the oldest continuous culinary preparations in Iranian culture, predating the khoresh tradition and representing the original form of Persian cooking before court elaboration. The word āshpaz (cook) literally means "āsh maker" — the centrality of this preparation to Persian identity is built into the language itself. Āsh encompasses a family of preparations from the simple to the extraordinarily complex.
