How to Make Aash E Shalgham Beef And Herb Soup

1. Finely chop 1 large onion and sauté in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
2. Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 6 cups of water or beef broth to the pot.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
4. While the soup simmers, finely grate 1 medium onion and gently mix it with 1 pound of ground beef.
5. Form the ground beef and onion mixture into small, walnut-sized meatballs.
6. Add the meatballs to the simmering soup and continue to simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Add 1/2 cup of uncooked long-grain rice, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1 cup of chopped fresh spinach to the soup.
8. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
9. The rice should be tender and the soup thickened at this point. Check for seasoning and adjust as needed.
10. In a separate small pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
11. Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint and remove from heat.
12. Pour the garlic-mint mixture over the soup and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
