My cookbook is here! 
The simplest and tastiest Greek soup you will ever try.
My brother and I grew up with this soup, made constantly by my mom and yiayia (grandmother). Now my teens ask for it by name all the time – one of their favorites since they were little.
This soup possesses a few simple ingredients that are fresh and delicious. When you add the feta in at the end to somewhat soften and partially melt it, that is by far, the best part of this dish. I also recommend adding some shredded cooked chicken or chickpeas for added protein!
It is important to use a small size pasta like orzo or hilopites/xilopites, which are basically small flat squares. Orzo is easy to find, where hilopites you will find in your local Greek store. Any small pasta will work here – I have also used those small circles/rings and loved the look of it even more.
