🇺🇦 Ukraine recipe
Okroshka
Okroshka is the quintessential cold summer soup of Ukraine, a refreshing elixir for hot days when the thought of a steaming bowl of borscht is unbearable. Crisp diced vegetables, boiled eggs, and tender meat are bathed in cold kvass (a tangy fermented bread beverage) that has been sharpened with a touch of mustard and sour cream. The result is invigorating and deeply satisfying: crunchy, tangy, cool, and savory all at once, a complete meal in a bowl.
