Okroshka on mineral water
Description
A hearty first course. Okroshka, the pride and joy of traditional Russian cuisine, should ideally be prepared exclusively with kvass. However, we, people of the twenty-first century, due to the difficulty of finding good quality bread kvass, can make do with okroshka made using mineral water—fortunately, it turns out no worse than the kvass version. It disappears in no time during hot summer days. Good luck with your cooking and ;) Serve the soup hot.
