Okroshka is one of the most popular cold summer soups in the Russian cuisine. This chilled will be so refreshing on a hot summer day. You will love it!
I used to not like this soup because the original recipe contains eggs and bologna. This vegan version is so healthy and delicious. I make it with cashew sauce that can be made with raw cashews. You can add an egg-like taste to soup by adding Indian black salt.
Right now okroshka one of my favorite recipes and I hope you will love it too.
