Adasi - Persian Lentil Soup

Lentil Soup always brings back memories of hiking in the Tehran mountains, like "Darakeh", "Azghal Chal", and "Palang Chal". What I adore about Iran is the guarantee of finding a café or a little shop wherever you wander. It's hilarious how Iranians sometimes hike just to taste the food along the way or at the mountaintop!

I remember there was a café run by a kind old man, the café exuded an air of familiarity and comfort. Inside, the aroma of lentil soup danced in the air, inviting us to pause and savour the moment. Seated together, we shared stories and laughter over hearty bowls of soup. It's these spontaneous food adventures that make every hike an unforgettable journey.
