With the arrival of summer, cold soups are very popular. And one of the most popular favorites of cold first courses of soups in Russian and Ukrainian cuisine is okroshka. Its history goes back many centuries, from which there are many recipes with a variety of ingredients. It is believed that traditional okroshka is prepared with natural bread kvass. However, not everyone loves such a dish. Therefore, as an alternative, today we will cook hearty okroshka with smoked meats, sausage and mustard.
Today we will fill okroshka with broth, and not ordinary, but smoked. Thanks to this, it will acquire satiety, richness and piquant taste. Although if this combination does not seem appropriate to you or you do not like it, then you can fill it with ordinary mineral water, and put the smoked meat in the dish in the form of a meat component. Okroshka also turns out to be hearty thanks to the addition of milk sausage. A large amount of meat products in one dish will saturate the body well. Additional products are the same as always: potatoes, cucumbers, green onions, herbs, eggs. For the dressing, I chose sour cream, which I will add with mustard. It will add a light piquant bitterness. You can also put some horseradish for spiciness and freshness. And since the broth is not acidic, vinegar, citric acid or lemon juice are usually added to okroshka.
