The most famous Russian summer soup is definitely okroshka based on kvass! Do you happen to know there are a number of other traditional recipes worth trying in a short Russian summer? Here are some of them for you.
Hot Sorrel Soup with Eggs
Sorrel soup is a favourite of many Russians as it is easy-to-make and rich in vitamins that perk you up after a long winter! This soup is especially popular in Russian dacha, as there is plenty of fresh sorrel available from early summer. Sorrel is one of the frequently used components of Russian cuisine. It contains a lot of vitamin C, which is especially useful in early spring.

 Dice vegetables and boil water. Put diced potatoes into boiling water. A few minutes later, add chopped parsley root. Slightly fry finely chopped carrots and onions in oil and then add to the soup.
While soup is cooking, hard-boil and chop eggs. Five minutes before the end of cooking, chop sorrel and add it into soup. Sorrel gets cooked almost instantly, and changes its color once it is cooked. Now add hard-boiled and chopped eggs and serve your sorrel soup with sour cream.

Pour it in into the soup, while breaking the thin trickle of egg mix in the soup with a fork. Turn off the flame and let your soup cool down.
Finely chop the onion, parsley, and dill. Put the greens in a mortar, salt and pestle them. Dice hard-boiled eggs and raw cucumbers and put them along with crushed greens into the cooled sorrel soup. Serve right away with sour cream.
