If you ever find yourself in a Greek island don’t hesitate to try some fish soup from the local taverns. The Greek seas are famous for the abundance of fish and fresh fish, usually fried or grilled, is always served at the taverns in our hundreds of islands spread in the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Thankfully there are still taverns that serve kakavia , the richest and intense in flavor fish soup you can find!
Easy to make, all you need is the freshest variety of fish!

Today we’ve got a lovely, smooth split pea soup and we are going to serve it with sautéed cubes of sínglino, an extremely delicious charcuterie from Lakonia, in the SE parts of the Peloponnese region.

There’s no better winter comfort food than soup. And when it comes to soup the first one that comes in mind is chicken soup. Why? Perhaps it’s because our mother would always make chicken soup when we were young. It brings back memories and warmth. Both sentimental and corporal warmth.
As we have mentioned before, Greeks adore legumes. They are undoubtedly a staple in our cuisine. We cook them in different ways, we make soups, dips, salads, we even bake them in the oven. Plus the fact that we eat them all year around.
