Tarator with lemon acid
Description
The most delicious and beloved okroshka in our family—we hope you'll love it too. This okroshka has a pleasant slight tanginess and a wonderful aftertaste. You can enjoy it not only in summer but also on warm spring or autumn days. Be sure to add sour cream or substitute it with milk to mellow the acidity. You can prepare this okroshka not only with boiled sausage but also with boiled pork, chicken breast, beef, or smoked sausage. The soup is ready to serve.

Step 7
Then add sour cream. You can use sour cream of any fat content. Dilute the citric acid separately in two liters of water, then add it to the pot. I use 1 teaspoon of citric acid without a heap per 1 liter of water, but you can adjust it to taste.

Step 8
When the acid dissolves, pour cold water into the pot. Add salt and ground pepper to taste. Stir. Taste the liquid. If it's not sour enough, mix a little more acid separately with a small amount of water. Stir and add it to the pot. Taste again. The liquid should be moderately sour. Adjust the flavor according to your personal preference. For the first time, it's better to add only one teaspoon of acid initially and use the rest if needed.
