Kholodnik with kefir

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make kholodnik with kefir? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Boil the eggs in boiling water for 7-8 minutes. Then drain the hot water, pour cold water over the eggs and let stand. This will make it easier to peel the eggs. Rinse the cucumber.

2. STEP 2

   

   Also, boil the beets in advance until tender in boiling water. Cooking time will depend on the size of the beets. Young beets will cook faster. Focus on its softness by piercing it with a knife - the knife enters the cooked beets without effort. Allow the finished beets to cool completely. Then peel the beets and grate them on a coarse grater.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the boiled eggs and cut them. There is no need to cut too finely.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the cucumber and fresh herbs into pieces. You can use whatever you have as greenery. It could be dill, parsley, green onions. You can add one thing or just a little bit, as you like.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place beets, eggs, cucumber and herbs in a saucepan. Pour in kefir, add a little salt and mix well. If kefir is thick, you can dilute it a little with water. If desired, you can add fresh radishes and cottage cheese. But choose coarse cottage cheese so that it can be felt in the dish. Place the finished kholodnik in the refrigerator for an hour or two to cool properly. When serving, the kholodnik can be supplemented with sour cream and hot boiled potatoes. Bon appetit!

In the summer, when it’s hot, you don’t really want to cook hot soups. So I started looking for a cold soup recipe. I decided to stick with this beetroot soup recipe. I boiled the beets in advance. I really liked that the main preparation took very little time. For satiety, I added a little more cottage cheese to the beetroot soup. Moreover, for this it is better to use cottage cheese in grains so that they feel good in the dish. Rubbed through a sieve will not work here at all. I serve hot boiled potatoes separately with this beetroot soup. We love this combination! Thanks for your recipe! Everyone was left full and happy!

This kholodnik is similar to beetroot soup made with kefir with mustard and without sour cream. Both options are worth making.
