Okroshka
6 servings
25 minutes
The debate about what to season okroshka with - kefir or kvass - will never subside, as well as about what exactly should be on the list of ingredients for this summer soup. Nevertheless, it contains the entire Russian soul, and the charm lies in the fact that it is prepared completely differently from region to region, from family to family. Our version for the "Golden Thousand" is with white kvass and beef.
