Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and soft.
  2. Next, stir in 3 cloves of minced garlic and a teaspoon of turmeric. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 6 cups of vegetable broth while adding in the rinsed lentils, cooked chickpeas, navy beans, and kidney beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cover.
  4. Once the base is ready, stir in 6 ounces of Persian noodles. Cook for another 10 minutes until the noodles are tender.
  5. After the noodles are ready, toss in the chopped spinach, cilantro, parsley, and dill. Cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the greens are wilted.
  6. Finally, taste your soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and crispy fried onions.
