Lithuanian Borscht

Description

The soup is simple and quick to prepare. In Lithuania, there's a special thick kefir available for cold borscht. You can use regular high-fat kefir instead. You may also add finely chopped green onion tops to the soup. The potatoes can be fried or baked in their skins. Serve the soup hot.
