Cold fermented milk soup with eggplants or zucchini is a refreshing dish of Russian cuisine, perfect for a hot summer day. Its roots go back to traditional village recipes where simple and accessible ingredients were transformed into nutritious and aromatic dishes. Baked eggplants or zucchini give the soup softness and rich flavor, while parsley and garlic add fresh spicy notes. Kefir makes the texture delicate and adds a slight sourness, making the soup not only tasty but also beneficial for digestion. This soup pairs wonderfully with rye bread and herbs, creating a light yet hearty dish for any time of day.
