In the traditional style, two large pots on wood-burning stoves are where the Afghans cook their soups. Mostly an Afghani meal includes a bowl of soup. Spoons and forks are not used in the Afghani custom, therefore the soup is eaten by hand, normally with the traditional Afghan flat bread or Nan (traditional Afghani flat bread). Most of the Afghani soups that you will find in the cuisine of Afghanistan include noodles and meat in them. The most popular soup in the Afghan cuisine is Ash: this is a traditional soup with noodle, yogurt, kidney beans and chickpeas and is flavoured with dill, turmeric and mint, and is garnished with mint leaves. Two other popular soups found in the region are the Aush soup and the vegetable soup. The Aush soup includes noodles, vegetables and yogurt and is topped with meat sauce and sprinkled with some dill. The vegetable soup which is also known to be Kabul’s favourite soup is a mixture of fresh vegetables and herbs.
