Then a recipe for dietary okroshka with kefir will come in handy, which we will definitely show and tell you step by step in this material. But first, let's talk about the classic okroshka, which is seasoned with delicious kefir.

So, what ingredients are needed for okroshka with kefir?

1 liter of kefir
Half a liter of water
200 grams of “varenka”
1-2 fresh cucumbers
Four boiled eggs
Greens to taste – dill, onion
Two boiled potatoes.

Know that before you start cooking, you need to first prepare your greens and vegetables. Pour kefir into a plate with okroshka right before serving the dish. Although, if you have a large family that can “eat down” a large portion, then let it soak a little in the sour liquid. Now let’s write down the recipe for kefir okroshka step by step.

But if one recipe for making okroshka is not enough for you, and you want to learn how to make a “dietary” version of it, then we recommend reading this article further. By the way, there are also a huge number of recipes on how to cook okroshka with kefir. We will describe some of them in this article.

Okroshka with kefir and mineral water. Is it tasty?

Summer soup - okroshka. This is a fact! You can’t think of a better dish if you don’t have much time, you don’t want to mess around in the kitchen all day, but you need to feed a large family. It can be filled with almost anything. But we suggest you make it with kefir and mineral water. This okroshka has a very unusual taste.

Like any other type of okroshka, this one can be seasoned right away, without sparing kefir or mineral water. Although many families prefer to pour okroshka only when all the chopped vegetables and meat are in a plate on the dining table. Because you can’t always guess what a person likes: thicker okroshka or, on the contrary, thinner. So, how to make okroshka with kefir together with mineral water?

To do this you will need the following products:

Good boiled milk - 200 grams;
Radish – 200 grams (this is five or six medium-sized radishes);
Boiled eggs - five to six pieces;
Fresh cucumbers - four pieces;
Boiled potatoes - two or three pieces
Dill - one bunch;
Green onions - one bunch;
Kefir – one liter;
Mineral water (carbonated) – one liter;
Lemon to taste

First, cook the potatoes in boiling water. It is best if you do not pre-clean it, but cook it in its “uniform”. You need to add a teaspoon of salt to the water. Boil the potatoes in boiling water for no more than ten minutes.
Next, drain the water and let the potatoes cool. At the same stage, you need to peel the potatoes.
The next step is to cut the potatoes into cubes and proceed to the eggs.
Eggs can be boiled at the same time as potatoes. After they are cooked, pour cold water over them to cool them faster.
Peel and finely chop the eggs.
The next step is vegetables. Cut three cucumbers into cubes, and grate one cucumber on a coarse grater.
After that, we take on the sausage: it also needs to be cut into cubes (it’s best if the “cubes” are small).
Further actions - radishes. It needs to be grated (coarse) and also added to the dish. Wash the greens thoroughly and chop them finely.
Mix all the ingredients in one large dish (a saucepan will do). If you still season it right away, then you need to cool the liquid and pour cold mineral water and kefir into the dish in equal proportions. Don't forget to add salt so that the okroshka is soaked.
If desired, you can add a few drops of lemon juice to add sourness.
Lemon juice is an excellent substitute for mustard and even sugar. Don't be afraid to experiment, this dish can't be messed up

Now you know how to make okroshka with kefir and mineral water. Believe me, such okroshka is truly a hearty and tasty dish that is not embarrassing to serve even at the holiday table.

Other types of okroshka recipes:

As you probably know, “okroshka” comes from the word “crumb”. And this is not surprising, because such dishes consist of crushed products that are seasoned with various equally tasty liquids - kvass, kefir, whey. And some craftsmen even top the dish with beer! But, alas, beer okroshka is not suitable for those who want to lose weight. And we can tell you the recipe for dietary okroshka.

The main rules when preparing okroshka for a diet:

Choose only neutral, low-calorie foods that combine well in taste. The most calories are in fatty sour cream, sausage and boiled potatoes. Therefore, most of these ingredients for okroshka will have to be abandoned. In this regard, this type of soup differs from okroshka recipe made with kefir and mineral water.
To season the dish, use whey (useful in all respects). If whey is not to your taste, then you can use low-calorie kvass or low-fat kefir. The taste will be unique!

Kefir with zero fat content;
One boiled egg;
One boiled potato;
A couple of fresh cucumbers;
Greens and onions (we recommend leeks, which speed up metabolism).

Hard boil the potatoes and eggs and then chop them. Finely chop the greens. Cut the cucumbers into cubes. Mix all the ingredients and then just pour in the kefir and let it sit in the refrigerator for a while. Serve the dish cold.

How to cook vegetable okroshka?

Sometimes you just want summer soup without any meat. This okroshka will not make you stand at the stove for long. And yet, it does not require excessive effort for digestion. As you know, protein foods (and meat consists of protein) require more time and energy from the stomach. Therefore, vegetable okroshka is not only quick, but also healthy!

Liter of kvass
Five radishes
Two fresh, large cucumbers
A bunch of greens (parsley, dill, green onions);
Mustard/pepper (to taste)

Cooking process:

Finely chop the boiled eggs, cucumbers and radishes. Next, mix a few tablespoons of kefir in a separate dish with mustard, pepper and chopped herbs. We put both masses together and season everything with kvass. Bon appetit!

Okroshka with whey is a recipe for the soup that our fathers and grandfathers ate. With a very specific taste, sourness, which may not appeal to those who are accustomed to okroshka made with sweet kvass or full-fat kefir. But if you want to experiment, try something new and feel like a gourmet, then we advise you to try making this type of summer soup.

To do this you will need:

1 liter of whey;
Six radishes;
One tablespoon of sour cream (15% fat);
Greens (a bunch of dill, parsley, green onions);
Two large cucumbers

Add the final touch - finely chopped greens (you managed to chop them, right?). Leave in the refrigerator to let the food cool down and serve.

How to cook okroshka with chicken broth?

Four hundred grams of chicken fillet;
Three boiled eggs;
Five radishes;
Three tablespoons of mayonnaise;
Two fresh cucumbers;
Three tablespoons of 15% sour cream;

How to cook okroshka with kefir

Products:

Cucumbers – 300-400 gr
Radish – 300 gr
Potatoes – 7-8 pcs.
Boiled sausage – 300 gr
Eggs – 5-7 pcs.
Greens to taste – green onions, parsley, dill
Salt to taste
Kefir

Preparation:

I didn’t indicate the proportions of kefir, here everything is more to your taste. Some people like thick okroshka, while others prefer a thinner version.

First, let's prepare all the products.

Boil the eggs and peel them.

Boil the potatoes in their skins, and while they are still hot, peel them. Cool all the ingredients that we boiled before slicing.

Prepare radishes and cucumbers

The sausage doesn’t require any special preparation, so we’ll just cut it.

Now cut all the products into small cubes. Let's take a larger pan, I had a 6-liter pan, so it will be more convenient to mix and control the thickness of the okroshka.

Fill with kefir. You can dilute with mineral water, add one part of mineral water to about 3 parts of kefir. Pour in the liquid gradually, adjusting the thickness of the okroshka to your taste.

Salt to taste. Wash the greens and chop finely. Dill and green onions are great, but if you have your own favorite herb, feel free to use that too.

Note! If you don't find enough acid from kefir, add a little citric acid, but be careful not to overdo it. You shouldn’t add it to the pan, it’s better to immediately put it on your plate, otherwise the okroshka will quickly turn sour.

Okroshka with kefir is ready. This recipe, like any one, can be adapted to suit you by adding or reducing some ingredients. You can omit the sausage completely and you'll have a lighter version of a summer dish. Experiment and surprise your family.
