1. The preparation is very simple: Mix the kefir with cucumber, beetroot, dill and spring onions, admire the wonderful pink color, dilute with cold water depending on the consistency and desire. Refine with sour cream, season with salt, white pepper (this is how the farmer`s meal becomes haute cuisine) and a dash of wine vinegar. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes, then, if necessary, add salt and serve decorated with egg wedges.
2. Cooked new potatoes or baked potatoes or French fries are enough. The soup is ready by the time the potatoes are cooked. Guaranteed success!
