Cold Soup

Ingredients

Beets 5

Water 2000 ml

Kefir 1000 ml

Onions 300 g

Cucumber 4

Salt to taste

Sugar to taste

Dill 1 bunch

Sour cream

Egg



First, boil the beets. Then boil the water and let it cool. Mix the cooled water with the kefir in a large saucepan. You can use any kefir. First, mix 1.7 liters of water with 0.8 liters of kefir, and at the very end of cooking the cold soup, add the remaining kefir and water, if necessary, to taste.

Peel and grate the boiled beets. You can grate them on a regular grater or cut them into thin strips. Add the beets to the saucepan with the kefir and water. Then, add salt and sugar. It's all a matter of taste; the cold soup should be moderately sweet and salty. It all depends on the sweetness of the beets, kefir, and your personal taste.

Finely chop the onion. You can substitute green onions for regular onions. Add to the cold soup.

Then cut the fresh cucumbers into small pieces. If the skin is tough, it's best to remove it and add to the cold soup. Add chopped dill. Mix everything well and taste. If necessary, add water, kefir, salt, and sugar. Refrigerate until completely cool.

Serve with sour cream and half a hard-boiled egg.

Bon appétit!
