Cold yogurt soup (Ash mast)

My sister taught me how to make this soup. She also learned it from a very dear friend of hers and me. Our friend is from Sabzevar, one city close to Mashhad so the soup is.

This delicious cold soup is very nice for hot summer days and is too easy to make

Ingredients
1. Spinach 1 kg
2. Leek 1 bunch
3. Noodle about 200 g
4. Yogurt 2 cup
5. Dried mint 1Tbsp
6. Salt to taste
7. Dried red pepper to garnish

Directions

Wash the spinach and leek separately and let get dry a little bit. Cut the spinach in not very small pieces, pour them in a pot and add 4 cups of tab water and bring to boil. Turn the heat to medium let cook for 5 min. then break the noodles in pieces (about 10 cm) and add them to the boiling spinach. Always have some hot water in another pot when making soup if needs some add it. stir occasionally! When the noodles cooked (after about 10 min.) turns off the heat set aside and let it get cold.

Cut the leeks in pieces, and then you should mash them. I used a food processor and in the end my leeks were like a thick green liquid which seemed great for my soup!

In a large bowl beat the yogurt a little and add mashed or so leek and mix well add salt and dried mint to.

Add the cooked material to the yogurt mix (be sure it is almost at room temperature)

Mix them thoroughly. Put in the fridge for 1-2 hour. That is ready to serve. Garnish with some dried red pepper powder or crushed. (It can wait more at fridge, until you are ready to eat)

Enjoy!!!
