You may also see it called <strong>Ash-e Shoorba, Gheymeh Shoorba <\/strong>or<strong> Ash-e Gheymeh Shoorba.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My version comes from Isfahan. It combines three fresh herbs with rice, turmeric and tiny beef or lamb meatballs. The rice makes the broth silky and slightly thick, while parsley, coriander and dill give it a bold, fresh flavor. The meatballs add savory depth and protein, which turns the soup into a filling meal.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-6755 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/ash-e-shoorba-persian-herb-soup-with-meatballs-from-isfahan\/ash-e-shoorba-persische-krautersuppe-mit-hackballchen-aus-isfahan-13\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-12-683x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Ash-e Shoorba \u2013 Persian Herb Soup with Meatballs from Isfahan\" srcset=\"https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-12-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-12-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-12-768x1151.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-12.jpeg 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/ash-e-shoorba-persian-herb-soup-with-meatballs-from-isfahan\/ash-e-shoorba-persische-krautersuppe-mit-hackballchen-aus-isfahan-12\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-13-683x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Ash-e Shoorba \u2013 Persian Herb Soup with Meatballs from Isfahan\" srcset=\"https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-13-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-13-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-13-768x1151.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-13.jpeg 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6758\" src=\"https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-2-761x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"761\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-2-761x1024.jpeg 761w, https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-2-223x300.jpeg 223w, https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-2-768x1034.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Ash-e-Shoorba-\u2013-Persische-Krautersuppe-mit-Hackballchen-aus-Isfahan-2.jpeg 951w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>EVERY FAMILY MAKES IT DIFFERENTLY<\/h2>\n<p>Shoorba is a bit like chicken soup or potato soup: <strong>it tastes different in every home.<\/strong> Some cooks <strong>mix the fresh herbs straight into the meat<\/strong>.

THE HERB SOUP<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00bc cup (50 g) short-grain rice (pudding rice), soaked in cold water for 1 hour<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">3\u00bd oz (100 g) each of fresh parsley, coriander (cilantro) and dill, finely chopped<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">1 tsp turmeric<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Salt and pepper, to taste<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">6 cups (1.5 liters) water<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">INGREDIENTS FOR THE MEATBALLS<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">14 oz (400 g) ground beef or lamb (mince)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">1 onion, finely grated, with the juice squeezed out<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">1 tsp turmeric<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Salt and pepper<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">INGREDIENTS FOR THE TOPPING (OPTIONAL)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">2 tbsp dried mint<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">A little olive oil<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">2 tbsp Greek yogurt<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">HOW TO MAKE ASH-E SHOORBA<\/h2>\n<h3>SOAK THE RICE<\/h3>\n<p>Rinse the rice well under cold water. Then let it soak in fresh cold water for 1 hour.<\/p>\n<h3>SHAPE THE MEATBALLS<\/h3>\n<p>Knead the meat with the grated onion, turmeric, salt and pepper until smooth. Roll the mixture into hazelnut-sized balls and keep them in the fridge until you need them.<\/p>\n<h3>PREPARE THE HERBS<\/h3>\n<p>Wash the parsley, coriander and dill thoroughly and dry them well. I use a salad spinner and then pat them dry with clean kitchen towels. Chop the herbs finely. This step is worth the effort, because the fresher the herbs, the more fragrant your soup.<\/p>\n<h3>COOK THE HERB SOUP<\/h3>\n<p>Add the chopped herbs and drained rice to a large pot. Season with turmeric, salt and pepper, then pour in 6 cups (1.5 liters) of water. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer gently for about 30 minutes. Stir now and then so the rice doesn\u2019t stick to the bottom.<\/p>\n<h3>ADD THE MEATBALLS<\/h3>\n<p>Gently lower the meatballs into the soup. Simmer on low heat, with the lid slightly open, for another 30 minutes, until the rice is soft and the meatballs are cooked through.<\/p>\n<h3>TASTE AND SEASON<\/h3>\n<p>Taste your Shoorba and add a pinch more salt and pepper if it needs it.<\/p>\n<h3>MAKE THE MINT TOPPING (OPTIONAL)<\/h3>\n<p>Warm the dried mint in olive oil over low heat for a moment, just until it smells wonderful. Don\u2019t let it burn, or it turns bitter.<\/p>\n<h3>SERVE<\/h3>\n<p>Ladle the soup into deep bowls and serve it hot.<\/p>\n<p>Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt to the soup and drizzle the mint oil on top.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy, or as we say in Persian: Noosh-e Jan!<\/p>\n<p>Susan<\/p>\n<p>Links marked with * are affiliate links.

Tell me about it in the comments, I\u2019d love to hear.
