Beetroot Kefir Cold Soup Recipe

December 16, 2017 by PadhuSankar 1 Comment

Beetroot kefir cold soup is quick and easy to make. It is called cold borscht and is very popular in Lithuanian cuisine. This soup is served cold. I have made slight changes to suit my preferences. Cold borscht is served chilled with warm potatoes and hard boiled eggs. It makes a light and nutritious lunch. Today we will learn how to make Beetroot Kefir cold soup following this easy recipe with pictures.
