Tartare soup

2 servings

10 minutes

Tartar soup is a light, refreshing dish that comes from European cuisine. Its roots can be traced back to traditional cold soups popular in Eastern European countries. This soup is a harmonious blend of fresh cucumber, aromatic herbs, and the spiciness of garlic, complemented by the softness of walnuts and the tenderness of kefir. It has a pleasant creamy texture and a gentle sour taste that provides a feeling of lightness and freshness. The soup is perfect for the summer season when one craves something cool yet nutritious at the same time. It is served chilled, and the light nutty notes deepen the flavor. This soup can be used as a light standalone dish or as an exquisite appetizer before main courses. Simple to prepare, it surprises with its rich taste and health benefits.
