About Cold Beet Soup (Aukstā Zupa)
Ievas Receptes' aukstā zupa is a classic Latvian cold soup for hot weather. Kefir gives it a cultured dairy base, with pickled beetroot contributing the characteristic beet component.
Fresh cucumber brings a crisp contrast to the softer beetroot and boiled egg. Spring onions and dill supply the fresh herb flavour in this concise rendition.
Pieces of egg and vegetables sit within the kefir soup. The bowl combines its cool dairy character with the pickled beetroot, cucumber and herbs, without a separate accompaniment specified.
