Why cooks start here
Faki Soup me Kydoni is cooked the way northern Greece cooks it — olive oil used without counting, salt judged by hand, and lemon always within reach. This is the home version, written down the way a Greek family cook actually puts it on the table.
Faki Soup me Kydoni is a cherished staple from northern Greece, where it is prepared with an unmeasured abundance of olive oil and a steady hand for salt. This home-style version captures the essence of family kitchens, where recipes are passed down without pen or paper, relying instead on intuition and taste. The soup is a comforting presence on the table, often served as a hearty meal during the cooler months. The flavors of this soup are a beautiful balance of earthy lentils and the subtle sweetness of quince, with a hint of acidity from red wine vinegar. The olive oil enriches the overall texture, creating a velvety mouthfeel. As you savor each spoonful, the warmth and depth of this dish reflects the simple yet profound comforts of Greek home cooking.
