Cold Beet Soup Recipe

Cold Beet Soup

Cold Beet Soup is a perfect way to eat healthy during summer. This Cold Beet Soup recipe is filled with crunchy cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs, sweet beets, and cold creamy kefir. It will keep you full and satisfied!

This is a classic Eastern European recipe, with variations called Holodnik, Svekolnik, Polish Chlodnik, or Saltibarsciai in Lithuania. This classic cold soup is the ultimate in summer dish: cool, creamy, and gently crunchy from cucumbers, with a gorgeous color that makes it even more unforgettable.

Beets
I don’t think they get the appreciation they deserve. Beetroots, commonly known as beets, are a vibrant and versatile type of vegetable. They’re known for their earthy flavor and aroma. In addition to bringing a pop of color to your plate, beets are highly nutritious and packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds, many of which have medicinal properties. The most powerful health benefits of beets, I have read about, include their ability to lower blood pressure, improve digestion, and boost athletic performance. They also help in providing relief from macular degeneration, improve blood circulation, aid in skincare, prevent cataract, build immunity, and relieve respiratory problems.

Cold Beet Soup

Kefir
Kefir is high in nutrients and probiotics and it is very beneficial for digestion and gut health. In fact, many people consider it to be more nutritious than yogurt. Read more about health benefits of the potatoes: “9 Evidence-Based Health Benefits of Kefir”.

Tips for best results

– Use red beets to get a classic red color for this Cold Beet Soup (golden beets have different taste).
– Always refrigerate this soup before serving. It doesn’t taste as good when it’s warm.
