Cold soup is a salvation in the summer heat, because it simultaneously quenches hunger and thirst without overloading the stomach with excess calories. Among the recipes of cold soups with photos from Russian cuisine, you can find beetroot, okroshka, borscht and cabbage soup, and soups with seafood, cheese and fruits are popular in the culinary traditions of other nations, which seem too exotic for us.
A very tasty cold summer soup can be cooked from beet tops, radish, cucumber, sorrel, dill and onion. To prepare cold soups, many housewives take fresh or dried mushrooms, nuts, smoked fish and meat, avocado, eggplant, radish, rhubarb and many other healthy vegetables. It is not necessary to cut the soup products too finely, otherwise it will turn into porridge, and it is also recommended not to spare the greens and cool the dish before serving. The technology of cooking cold soups is simple – everything that cannot be eaten raw must be cooked, and all other products should be put in the soup fresh. For piquancy, you can add lemon slices and ice cubes to the plate.
