If you have a taste for cold soups, then you’ll probably enjoy okroshka. It’s a traditional soup of Russian origin made with mostly raw vegetables like cucumber, radish, and spring onion mixed with kvas, boiled potatoes, eggs, sour cream, and dill. It’s often made with some type of meat as well like ham, sausage, beef, or veal.
Popular in summer, okroshka is always served chilled, sometimes with ice cubes added in to keep it cold during hot weather.
