30 minutes

Okroshka with radish is a refreshing summer soup that has become a true symbol of Russian cuisine. Its history dates back to ancient times when peasants mixed kvass with finely chopped vegetables to quench their thirst and satisfy hunger in hot weather. Today, okroshka with radish is an exquisite combination of the freshness of cucumbers, the spiciness of radishes, and the tenderness of boiled potatoes and eggs. Bread kvass gives the dish a slight sourness, while sour cream adds creamy softness. Okroshka can be served chilled with herbs, making it an ideal option for a summer lunch. This soup not only delights the taste but also provides vigor, creating a unique feeling of coolness and freshness.
