Recipe: Okroshka: Cold Kefir Soup From Russia

Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users

Okroshka is often made with rye kvass, a grain-based fermented beverage popular in Russia. This version, however, uses milk kefir. It's less common, but still traditional. Serve this cold soup on a hot day for a light and cooling meal that is full of nourishment.
