Lithuanian cold borscht

30 min4 serv.20 февр. 2026 г.

Description

A hearty first course. In Lithuanian cold soup, kefir can be replaced with a mixture of buttermilk and cream. Adjust the acidity to your taste. I often make Lithuanian cold soup in summer, adding ice cubes directly into the bowls. Potatoes, on the contrary, are served hot, creating a wonderful contrast. Feel free to experiment—this dish lends itself perfectly to creativity. Good luck! Pour into bowls and serve.
