Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make cold borscht with pickled beets? Prepare your food. Pre-boil potatoes and eggs and cool. Wash and dry cucumbers, radishes and herbs. Instead of water to season borscht, you can use mineral water, beet broth, kefir or other fermented milk products (airan, tan). You will find the recipe for pickled beets at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to cook jacket potatoes? Wash the tubers with a brush under running water, cover with cold water and cook for half an hour from the time the water begins to boil. Cooked vegetables will easily slide off the knife if you pierce them in the middle. Drain the water and cool the potatoes. Peel it and cut it into cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   How to hard boil eggs? To prevent eggs from cracking during cooking, place them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. The shell will be better cleaned from a sharp temperature change. Also cut the peeled eggs into cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut off the ends of the cucumbers. Cut them into cubes. Or grate it on a coarse grater - some people prefer to grate hard vegetables into cold soups. See according to your taste.

5. STEP 5

   

   Do the same with the radishes - cut or grate.

6. STEP 6

   

   Finely chop the greens with a sharp knife. The best combination for cold borscht is green onions and dill, you can also add parsley.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place all the chopped vegetables in a bowl. Add pickled beets there. In addition to the above products, you can use boiled sausage or meat, then you will get a more satisfying dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Salt the borscht base and stir. If you do not plan to eat the soup right away, then put it in the refrigerator.

9. STEP 9

In general, I'm not a fan of cold soups. I can eat okroshka with kvass a couple of times during the summer and that’s all. But I saw a recipe for cold borscht with pickled beets on the website, and I was attracted by the bright photos. I decided to try making it, especially since I had pickled beets and all the other ingredients. I made one serving to try. I decided to fill the base for borscht with kefir. To be honest, I was surprised. I didn’t just like it, I really liked it! All ingredients combine perfectly with each other. I liked this borscht much more than okroshka. And it turned out very satisfying.katushafin, thank you very much for the recipe!

A great first course for summer. In hot weather, when you don’t want hot borscht or soup, our family often prepares okroshka. And this cold borscht is a great idea for a change. Potatoes can be boiled not in their skins, but peeled, cut into cubes and cooked until tender. Drain the water, cool and pour it over all the ingredients. Then the borscht will be more rich and nutritious. And I also make sure to add finely chopped herbs - parsley, dill and green onions
