COLD RUSSIAN BEET SOUP
On these hot summer days, would be appropriate to have something cold to eat. This vibrantly colourful soup is deliciously refreshing, contains just a few calories, and is packed with nutrients and fiber.
Ingredients:
✓ 3-4 medium-sized beets
✓ 3 medium-sized cucumber
✓ 6-8 radishes (optional)
✓ 4-5 hard-boiled eggs
✓ kefir + water (the amount depends on how thick/thin you would like your soup, I always dilute kefir with water)
✓ 4-5 green onions
✓ 1 bunch fresh dill chopped (optional)
✓ sour cream
✓ juice of a lemon
✓ salt
✓ ice cubes (optional)
Directions:
Cook beets to a half-ready stage, this way you will save more valuable fiber. Peel once cooled.
Meanwhile, chop the cucumbers, radishes, boiled eggs, green onions and dill.
Mix vegetables with kefir + water +ice and refrigerate to cool down even further.
Serve with half of an egg in each portion, along with a dollop of sour cream and dill. Enjoy.
