Okroshka

Directions

This chilled meat and vegetable soup is a popular Russian dish.

It’s served with ice cubes in it.

Since there’s no substitute for Russian Kvass, a fermented and slightly alcoholic liquid made from grain, the ingredients in this recipe will have to do.

You may substitute 3 cup beef stock and 1 cup white wine for the apple cider.

Dice meat.

Peel and dice cucumber and eggs. Slice green onions.

Combine first 4 ingredients.

Mix together sugar, mustard, sour cream, and cider, and beat well.

Add beef mixture and chill. Serve sprinkled with dill.

Sylvia’s notes: I used apple juice and leftover corned beef, and it was wonderful.

Absolutely addictive.
