Rinse and soak chickpeas, lentils, and kidney beans in separate bowls of water for about 8 hours or overnight.
Finely chop spinach, parsley, coriander, and chives. Set them aside.
Thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat half of the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until translucent.
Add minced garlic and turmeric powder. Stir for a minute until the garlic releases its aroma.
Drain soaked chickpeas, lentils, and kidney beans. Add them to the pot and stir for 2 minutes.
Pour in vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let cook for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add chopped spinach, parsley, coriander, and chives to the pot. Stir well and let them cook for about 10 minutes.
Break the gluten-free noodles into smaller pieces and add them to the soup. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the noodles are cooked through.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
In a small skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté dried mint for a few seconds. Remove from heat immediately to avoid burning.
Serve the Ash Reshteh hot, garnished with sautéed mint.
