Soup:Greek Easter Soup with Lamb Offal (Magiritsa )

Gourmed

Greek Easter soup, Magiritsa, is eaten in the early hours of Sunday morning following the midnight Easter service. It is too late for a celebratory feast like Easter lamb, but a good time for making use of what is left over after the Iamb has been butchered and gutted. Serving easily digestible soup is also a good way of getting the stomach accustomed to more substantial food after weeks of going without meat.
