Okroshka - white Russian cold borsch with radish and mustard
Okroshka is a cold white soup made from kefir, which is very common in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and other Slavic countries, and which resembles a kind of cold borsch. Cold soup with fresh greens and bread gira or kefir is a fantastic refreshment on a hot summer's day, but at the same time it is also quite filling, as it is made with meat, usually ham, boiled meat or sausages.
