"When fasting during the month of Ramadan, Muslims like to break their fast and have soup for Iftar—usually a vegetable soup in addition to other meals on the table. Having a variety of options on the table is very common, but the soup aspect has many health benefits that we need. All around the world and in different countries there are different flavors of soup served based on each family's traditions. For sAfghan people like me that soup is called "Aush" or "Aash". After a long day of fasting, our bodies need to restore the nutrients lost. Soup helps with not only restoring this but also assists our digestive system to now move on to the other dishes on the table. Naturally, soup is always a good source of vitamins anyway, which makes it super beneficial overall during the month of Ramadan when fasting."
