Tabrizi Tomato Ash is a beloved traditional Persian soup from the city of Tabriz in northwest Iran. This hearty dish is made with fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, aromatic herbs, bulgur, rice, and lentils, creating a rich and flavorful texture. What makes this ash truly special is its signature sour taste, traditionally achieved with verjuice (sour grape juice), giving it a refreshing tang that balances the warmth of spices and herbs.

Served hot and topped with fried onions and mint oil, this comforting soup is perfect for chilly days, family gatherings, or anytime you crave a nourishing homemade Persian meal.
