My absolutely favorite cold beetroot soup for hot summer! Tried it in Lithuania on my vacation few years back and it was love at first sip. It is called Šaltibarščiai (sorry if I misspelled something I'm not Lithuanian:)). It's fantastic!
I have beets, cukes and dill growing in the garden right now, so this is perfect timing! My beets are golden tho so it won’t be that beautiful color sadly. Now to figure out where to get kefir!
Once I made it with buttermilk it was good too and I think I read some recipe where plain thinned yoghurt was used. Hope I did not offended fellow Lithuanians here with this recomendation hehe.
I meant to update you sooner, but I did make the soup and I easily found kefir at my Aldi! It was delicious. I’m making it again today which made me think to tell you about how much I love and crave this soup! Thanks!
Hi! Im glad you like it! Its funny because yesterday i harvested our beets for winter, spent whole day cooking and preserving them in jars and with leftovers i will make some soup today! Cant wait.
