Adding Herbs and Noodles: Fresh herbs and noodles are added to the pot, along with the cooked beans. 4. Simmering: The mixture is simmered until the noodles are cooked and the flavors meld together. 5. Incorporating Kashk: Kashk is stirred in towards the end of cooking, giving the soup its distinctive creamy texture.
