   How to make classic cold beetroot soup with kefir? Prepare the indicated products. The main ingredient of the soup is beets; other vegetables can be changed to suit your taste. First boil the eggs hard and cool in cold water. You can choose kefir of any fat content. I have 3.2%. You can take any greens you like.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beets can be boiled or baked. You need to boil it for 1 - 1.5 hours, depending on the size, placing it in a pan with cold water so that it completely covers the vegetable. If you bake, you need to wash the beets, wrap them in foil and bake for 50-60 minutes at a temperature of 180-190 degrees. The finished beets need to be taken out, unwrapped and cooled.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the boiled and cooled beets, grate them on a coarse grater and place in a deep bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse fresh cucumbers thoroughly with cold water, grate or finely chop. Place the chopped cucumber in the bowl with the beets.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the boiled and cooled eggs and finely chop them. Add the chopped eggs to the bowl with the previously prepared vegetables.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rinse fresh dill and parsley with cold water and shake off excess liquid. Chop fresh herbs and add to bowl.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add salt to taste and mustard to the prepared ingredients. You can skip the mustard. Stir the contents of the dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add kefir to the beetroot soup and stir.

9. STEP 9

   

   Beetroot soup can be diluted with cold water to the desired soup consistency. Take filtered, cold water. Before serving, you can cool the soup a little. Bon appetit!

It turned out thick, something between a soup and a salad: D In principle, it can be easily corrected if diluted with water) In general, the soup is quite bright and with the same bright taste, ideal in hot weather if you are not a fan of heating food

I think this soup will go great in the summer, it’s a good alternative to okroshka, otherwise okroshka will get boring over the summer. My grandmother in Belarus very often prepared a soup similar to this, but without kefir and also added beet tops. Yes, yes, it was the beet tops that were fresh, washed thoroughly and chopped finely, but she prepared them only when the fresh harvest had grown.

I love cold soups during the hot summer season. I associate them with childhood trips to visit my grandmother at the dacha. She always prepared beetroot soup like this, the taste of it is in my mouth right now. A very healthy and refreshing dish. I definitely need to make this for my husband today. It’s unlikely to turn out like grandma’s, but it’s worth a try. Thanks to the author for this wonderful recipe and childhood memories!
