Okroshka is a cold soup of Russian origin.This recipe serves 4 people. The classic soup is a mix of mostly raw vegetables (like cucumbers, radishes and spring onions), boiled potatoes, eggs, and a cooked meat such as beef, veal, sausages, or ham with kvass, which is a non-alcoholic beverage made from fermented black or rye bread. Okroshka is usually garnished with sour cream. Okroshka is mostly served in summer because the soup combines the refreshing taste of kvass and the lightness of a salad. Okroshka is always served cold. Sometimes ice cubes are added to served portions to keep the soup cold in hot weather.
Hi guys, welcome to my channel. Today I'm going
to show you how to make a Russian cold soup, called okroshka.
It's been requested from one of my subscribers, Inga Alves.
Hi, Inga!
And she was like, I love summer,
I want a cold soup, can you make it with kvas?
And kvas is a traditional drink made from rye bread.
And if you don't know how to make it,
you can watch a video recipe here.
So let's get started.
For this recipe we're going to need cucumber,
radish, ham, green onions, sour cream, boiled
eggs and boiled potato, horseradish and kvass.
Cut all your vegetables into nice bite sized pieces.
We're going
to start off with
our cucumber,
radishes.
Now peel your potato.
Place everything into a bowl.
What I love about this soup is that you
can prep everything way in advance.
So once you've prepped all your vegetables,
mixed them in, we're not going to season them
at all.
We're going to place them in the fridge.
Put all your cut vegetables into a bowl, give it a good mix, add kvass.
