Nothing helps out in the summer heat like recipes for cold soups. Fortunately, there are a great many options for how to cook cold soups, and therefore you can cook them at least every day.
The most famous and delicious dishes: Spanish gazpacho, Russian okroshka and beetroot, Belarusian cold brew, Swedish broth on rosehip, Thai chowder on coconut milk. Some of them are thick enough in their consistency, “a spoon is worth it”, while others resemble smoothies.
Recipes for cold soups can be divided into two main types:
– Which were prepared initially without heat treatment – raw vegetables, seasonings were crushed, poured, mixed. It is recommended to store them in the refrigerator for no more than a day.
– Which were first boiled, then cooled. If you cook on meat, fish or mushroom broth, then all the ingredients are cooked together. You can also boil some products, and use the rest fresh. Stored longer.
Such food is served to the table in ordinary plates or bowls. You can also pour it into a glass or mug. Aerobatics – to prepare an ice bowl is when two containers of different sizes are fixed, water is poured between them and all this is sent to the freezer. Then carefully separate the dishes from the frozen ice. It looks very impressive.

Complete hooliganism!!! Potato pie, fried chicken, shrimp, daikon with cucumbers, grated carrots in Korean, quail eggs and turkey pastrami, as well as traditional greens and kvass!!!
A novelty among okroshka, at least for us. After all, I have never added fried salmon, and even more so olives and capers. But white sour kvass is so good that it combines these products. And it turned out to be very balanced, with overseas notes of okroshka. Cook and enjoy.
I offer a recipe for vegetable okroshka with peas. It turns out very satisfying and delicious, and peas perfectly complement all the incoming ingredients! Try this dish during Lent – it’s delicious, simple and nutritious!
A hearty, refreshing okroshka with the addition of mushrooms, I used boiled morels. Perfect okroshka on white kvass, cooked according to traditional recipes.
Very light and refreshing okroshka. No potatoes or sausages. In addition, the combination of boiled fish, tarragon and sharp kvass, in my opinion, is simply amazing. Not the last role to play in this dish, sweet crayfish.
Dear chefs! I offer a simple and, at the same time, with a new note, a recipe for okroshka. Picnics with kebabs are a tradition! But sometimes in nature I want something cool with a slight sourness. Today we will cook okroshka without using salt, which we will replace with Kikkoman soy sauce.
I always cook classic okroshka. And I also tried okroshka with chicken liver for the first time, and believe me, it’s very tasty and interesting! Grain mustard gives a piquant note to this dish.
