Serving: 6 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 90 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried navy beans (soaked overnight—don’t skip this, or you’ll be chewing forever!)
- 1 large yellow onion, diced (I cry every time, but it’s worth it for that sweet base)
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped into half-moons (for a pop of color and subtle sweetness)
- 2 celery stalks, chopped (the unsung hero that adds a lovely earthy note)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (because more garlic is always the answer)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for that rich, fruity flavor)
- 6 cups vegetable broth (homemade if you’re fancy, store-bought works perfectly)
- 1 bay leaf (a tiny but mighty flavor booster)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (Greek oregano if you can find it—it’s a game-changer!)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to season generously, but we’ll get specific in the steps)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (a splash at the end brightens everything up)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for a vibrant garnish that makes it look fancy)
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the soaked navy beans thoroughly in a colander.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
- Add the diced onion, chopped carrots, and chopped celery to the pot. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onion turns translucent, about 8–10 minutes. Tip: Don’t rush this step—letting the veggies sweat builds a flavorful foundation.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant (be careful not to burn it!).
- Add the drained beans, vegetable broth, bay leaf, and dried oregano to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer gently for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Tip: Keep the lid slightly ajar to prevent overflow and check occasionally—the beans should be tender but not mushy.
- After 1 hour and 15 minutes, remove the bay leaf and discard it. Season the soup with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, gently mash about one-third of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the soup. Tip: This creates a creamy texture without any dairy—magic!
- Stir in the red wine vinegar and let the soup simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
Delight in this hearty, velvety soup that’s packed with savory depth from the slow-cooked beans and veggies. The texture is wonderfully creamy yet chunky, perfect for dunking crusty bread to soak up every last drop. For a fun twist, top it with a drizzle of extra olive oil and a squeeze of lemon to make it truly sing!

6. After simmering, remove the bay leaves and discard them. Season the soup with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, tasting and adjusting if needed. Tip: Season in layers; add a pinch of salt early and adjust at the end for balanced flavor.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I chop them into bite-sized pieces for faster cooking)
– 6 cups chicken broth (homemade if you’re fancy, but store-bought works great too)
– 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice (the kind that soaks up all that lemony goodness)
– 3 large eggs (I prefer room temp eggs here—they blend into the broth more smoothly)
– 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 juicy lemons, squeezed right before using for maximum zing)
– 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for that rich, fruity base)
– 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (don’t skip this—it’s the flavor foundation)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced (because everything’s better with garlic)
– Salt and black pepper (to season as you go, but I’ll be specific in the steps)
Instructions
1. In a large pot over medium heat, add 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
2. Add 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped, and sauté until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds—don’t let it brown!
4. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped into bite-sized pieces, and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes, stirring to brown evenly.
5. Pour in 6 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.

8. Slowly drizzle in 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice while whisking continuously to prevent curdling—this is key for that creamy texture!
9. Once the soup is done, remove the pot from heat. Ladle about 1 cup of the hot broth into the egg-lemon mixture, whisking constantly to temper it. Tip: Go slow here to avoid scrambling the eggs.
10. Pour the tempered mixture back into the pot, stirring gently to combine. Return to low heat and warm for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened—do not boil!
11. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Tip: A pinch of dried oregano adds an authentic Greek twist if you have it handy.
12. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately.
Now, for the grand finale: this soup boasts a velvety, almost custard-like texture that’s light yet satisfying, with a bright lemon punch that dances on your palate. I love garnishing it with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh dill for an extra pop of color and flavor—perfect for impressing guests or just treating yourself on a lazy day.
Greek Chickpea Soup (Revithosoupa)
Grab your coziest socks and prepare for a hug in a bowl—this Greek chickpea soup (or revithosoupa, if you want to impress your friends) is the ultimate winter warmer that’s so simple, you’ll wonder why you ever ordered takeout. It’s basically a creamy, lemony cloud of comfort that’s vegan-friendly and packed with protein, making it the perfect antidote to a dreary day or a hangry meltdown. Trust me, one spoonful and you’ll be planning a trip to the Aegean, or at least pretending you’re there while curled up on the couch.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 90 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 pound dried chickpeas, soaked overnight (I swear by this for creaminess—skip the canned ones here!)
– 1 large yellow onion, diced (extra virgin olive oil is my go-to for sautéing, about 2 tablespoons)
– 2 carrots, peeled and chopped into small pieces
– 2 celery stalks, chopped (the leaves add a nice herby kick, so don’t toss them!)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best—no jarred stuff, please!)
– 6 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium lets you control the salt)
– 1 bay leaf
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons, squeezed—I prefer room temp lemons for easier juicing)
– Salt and black pepper to taste (start with 1/2 teaspoon salt and adjust later)
– Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling (a good glug at the end makes it shine)
Instructions
1. Drain the soaked chickpeas and rinse them under cold water in a colander.
2. In a large pot over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
3. Add the diced onion, chopped carrots, and chopped celery to the pot, and sauté until the onion turns translucent and the vegetables soften, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5. Add the drained chickpeas, vegetable broth, bay leaf, and dried oregano to the pot, and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chickpeas are tender when pierced with a fork.
7. Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard it.
8. Using an immersion blender, blend about half of the soup directly in the pot until it reaches a creamy consistency with some whole chickpeas remaining for texture.
9. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
10. Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle each serving with a generous glug of extra virgin olive oil, and serve immediately.
The soup turns luxuriously creamy with a bright, zesty kick from the lemon, while the whole chickpeas add a satisfying bite that’s pure comfort. For a fun twist, top it with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or serve alongside crusty bread for dipping—it’s so good, you might just skip the main course and call it a meal!
Greek Pasta and Tomato Soup (Kritharaki)
Mmm, picture this: a cozy bowl of Greek comfort that’s basically a hug from a Mediterranean grandma—Kritharaki, or Greek pasta and tomato soup, is the ultimate winter warmer that’ll make you forget all about that dreary weather outside.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for that fruity kick)
– 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (trust me, it’s worth the tears)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh only—none of that jarred stuff!)
– 1 cup orzo pasta (the tiny rice-shaped stars of this show)
– 4 cups vegetable broth (homemade if you’re fancy, store-bought if you’re sane)
– 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes (I like the fire-roasted kind for extra depth)
– 1 tsp dried oregano (crush it between your fingers to wake it up)
– Salt and black pepper (be generous, life’s too short for bland soup)
– ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (for that salty, creamy finish)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (a handful, because green makes everything better)
Instructions
1. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
2. Add the finely chopped yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 5–7 minutes (tip: don’t rush this—caramelized onions are flavor gold).
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
4. Pour in the orzo pasta and toast it for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden (this adds a nutty depth).
5. Add the vegetable broth, crushed tomatoes, and dried oregano, then bring to a boil over high heat.
6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking (tip: keep the lid on to trap steam and cook the pasta evenly).
7. Uncover and cook for an additional 5–10 minutes until the soup thickens slightly and the orzo is tender but still has a bite (al dente is key here).
8. Season with salt and black pepper to your liking, then remove from heat (tip: taste as you go—soup is a personal journey!).
9. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Zesty and satisfying, this soup boasts a velvety texture with the orzo adding a delightful chew, while the feta melts into salty pockets of joy. Serve it with crusty bread for dipping, or get creative by adding a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess—it’s a bowl that’s as versatile as it is delicious.

- 1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup—I like it finely chopped for a smoother base)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (fresh is best here, trust me)

- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish—it adds a bright pop)

- Add the octopus and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly browned. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pot; work in batches if needed for even browning.

- In the same pot, add the onion and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, and bay leaf, stirring to combine.
- Return the octopus to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes until the octopus is tender. Tip: Check at 40 minutes—the octopus should be fork-tender but not mushy.
- Remove the octopus from the pot and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the sliced octopus to the soup and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Tip: Taste as you season; the broth should be savory but balanced.
