A taste of winter: Warming up with gyros soup
When the temperature outside drops, it's worth reaching for warming and satisfying dishes. Soups become favourable at this time, enveloping you with a comforting warmth from the inside. During the winter season, you should try aromatic gyros soup. It delights with its taste from the very first spoonful.
While chicken broth or tomato soup warm you up, you're soon hungry again after eating them. After gyros soup, your stomach stops grumbling, and the dish wraps you in pleasant warmth. This filling and flavourful soup is perfect for both lunch and dinner.
