Cold Beet Soup

Ingredients

• 3 medium red beets (or 4 small beets)
• 14 cups water
• 1 cup kefir
• 4 small cucumbers (finely diced)
• 6 large eggs (diced)
• 3 bunches green onions (chopped)
• 1 bunch dill (chopped)
• salt (to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and peel the beets. Put them in a large pot and pour 14 cups of water. Bring it to boil and cook for about 40-50 minutes, or until the beets are cooked through.

2. 2

   While it's cooking, you can boil the eggs (check my recipe for Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs).

3. 3

   When done, take the beets out of the liquid and set aside to cool off. Let the liquid cool off for about an hour.

4. 4

   When the liquid is cooled off, add a cup of kefir and stir.

5. 5

   Grate the beets and add them to the pot. Also add diced cucumbers, eggs, green onion, and dill.

6. 6

   Season everything with salt and stir.

7. 7

   Cover with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours or overnight.
