Background of Greek & Mediterranean Soup Recipes

Greek and Mediterranean soups come from a long tradition of simple, rustic cooking where nothing went to waste. Across the region, people relied on whatever was seasonal. Whether that be veggies from the garden, legumes, herb, and sometimes fish or meat if it was available. Soups were an easy way to stretch ingredients, stay full, and of course, stay warm during the cooler months.

In Greece specifically, soups often tie into cultural moments and celebrations. Avgolemono shows off the classic Greek love of lemons and eggs, where they turn basic broth into something so damn velvety and good, where lentil and bean soups have roots in ancient times, when they were everyday staples for farmers and sailors. Altogether, these soups all tell a story of resourcefulness, regional flavors, and the Mediterranean habit of turning easy ingredients into magical comfort food.
