Okroschka - a cold Russian Soup

Our summer is  back. After half a July of cold temperatures with mornings dressed in warm jackets now we are back to hot summer.
Cold soups are great on these days. Not only in Spain, were they serve Gazpacho.


I was in the Baltic states a while ago where they serve cold beetroot soup with hot potatoes. The blog Lithuanian cold red beet soup- Saltibarsciai can be found here too.


Potatoes are an ingredient in this soup too, but they are served cold. Some boiled eggs and a bit of sausage are the protein in the soup.


recipes:
5 small new potatoes
2 hard boiled eggs
150 g Bologna sausage
1 bunch red radishes
1/2 cucumber
Greens of 3 spring onions
half bunch of parsley
half bunch of dill
300 ml kefir
150 ml bubbly water
salt and pepper


Start with the potatoes and cook them in their Skin. Save water and put the eggs in to cook with the potatoes later.
Cool both down.

Peel and cut in to slices.
Clean radishes and cut out the wet middle bit of the cucumber. Cut into slices.
Chop the spring onions, parsley and dill.
Season and mix the kefir with the water.
Put the servíng size in a bowl and pour over the kefir water dressing.
