Chickpea soup that emulates Diporto's legendary revithada from Athens - Food, Stories, Love (page 182) by Diane Kochilas

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made 29 January 2026. I had high hopes for this simple recipe. I feel that with the highest quality ingredients it could be memorable. For me, since I only have access to supermarket ingredients, this soup did not satisfy. I followed the recipe exactly but there was not enough flavor for me to want to make this again. Maybe if I had access to a Greek pantry?
