Categories:
Russian




Ingredients:





     1 c  Meat, cooked


     1    Cucumber


     2    Eggs, hard-boiled


     3    Onions, green


     1 ts Sugar


     2 ts Dijon mustard


   1/2 c  Sour cream


     4 c  Apple cider






 This chilled meat and vegetable soup is a popular Russian dish. It's served


 with ice cubes in it.  Since there's no substitute for Russian Kvass, a


 fermented and slightly alcoholic liquid made from grain, the ingredients in


 this recipe will have to do.


 


 You may substitute 3 c beef stock and 1 c white wine for the apple cider.


 


 Dice meat.  Peel and dice cucumber and eggs.  Slice green onions. Combine


 first 4 ingredients.  Mix together sugar, mustard, sour cream, and cider,


 and beat well. Add beef mixture and chill. Serve sprinkled with dill.


 


 Sylvia's notes: I used apple juice and leftover corned beef, and it was


 wonderful.  Absolutely addictive.
