What is "okroshka"?
Okroshka is a type of cold soup that originated in Russia and is typically made from a combination of chopped vegetables, such as cucumbers, radishes, and potatoes, along with boiled eggs and sometimes meat or fish. The ingredients are mixed together with kvass, a fermented beverage made from rye bread, and sour cream to create a tangy and refreshing taste. Okroshka is typically served chilled and is a popular dish during the summer months. It can be garnished with additional ingredients, such as fresh herbs or chopped scallions, and is typically served with a side of bread or crackers.
