Okroshka with whey

Wednesday, June 19, 2019

Recipe for delicious okroshka with sausage and sour cream on whey. This cool, fresh and immediately satisfying cool soup is most often prepared in the summer. The usual composition, quick production and always good results - quickly get to the kitchen!

The whey that will become the basis for homemade okroshka can now be purchased in the store, but I always advise you to create it yourself. This is the product that remains after making cottage cheese (recipes here and here). As they say, it’s two in one: homemade tender curd and fragrant whey.

The ingredients for okroshka are practically always similar, but for each family its own specific composition is the most beloved. So, I don’t put boiled potatoes in whey-based okroshka. Then, in my opinion, the cool soup comes out more tender and lighter. We have enough acid due to the whey, and there’s no need to add mustard for this recipe.

For those who like contrast, I also suggest trying the savory okroshka in mineral water with ham and radishes. I also have a regular recipe for okroshka with kvass - a special and refreshing soup with smoked sausage.

Ingredients:

Making a dish step by step:

To make a tasty and refreshing homemade okroshka, we will need the following ingredients: whey, chicken eggs, boiled sausage, fresh cucumbers, sour cream, dill, green onions, salt and ground dark pepper.

Immediately set the chicken eggs (4 pieces) to boil hard - 9-10 minutes after boiling over medium heat. How to prevent eggs from bursting when boiled? Before all this, they should be at room temperature (take the eggs out of the refrigerator in advance), just like the water. In addition, when cooking, add a little vinegar or salt to the water.

Okroshka with whey - the best recipes

Traditional okroshka is prepared with kvass, but a store-bought drink called “kvass” is not at all suitable for these purposes. But you can replace it with ordinary whey, which costs a penny and is sold in almost any store.

The calorie content of this version of cool soup is approximately 76-77 kcal/100 g.

Tips and advice

Cool soup will taste better if you follow these tips:

Use relatively fresh homemade serum. A peroxided product will spoil the finished dish.
To keep the summer soup ice-cold and refreshing in the heat, some of the main water can be frozen in ice trays and added to the plate before meals.
Taking into account the fact that radishes have good properties only in spring and early summer, the rest of the time it is better to use snow-white daikon radish.
After making the okroshka, put it in the refrigerator for an hour. This will make the summer soup richer.
For those who count calories, you can not add potatoes, but serve them separately.
A cool dish will be most satisfying and tasty if you add not only sausage, but also boiled chicken meat.
It is better to cut all hard vegetables, such as radishes and cucumbers, into strips or small cubes, and sausage, eggs and potatoes a little larger.
If you grate some of the cucumbers, the taste of the okroshka will be more harmonious and rich.

Traditional okroshka with whey

Year after year, Russian cuisine gains more foreign fans, and our usual cool soup is especially appreciated in foreign circles.

This stew has a huge number of production options, where the traditional okroshka with whey is considered the most delicious, and it is these recipes with step-by-step photos that we will now master.

Whey is an indescribably necessary product, just 1 liter of this drink contains a daily dose of calcium, so okroshka only benefits from such a dressing in everything.

In the old days, when farmers spent most of the summer time in the fields under the bright and very hot sun, cooling, watery food, which not only satiated but also relieved thirst, was the basis of the diet. But in those years, okroshka had a rather meager ingredient composition, which was limited to onions, radishes and kvass.

A little later, okroshka began to be served to the nobles, but, naturally, the recipe for cool soup was already the richest. Eggs, meat or fish and sour cream began to be added to the noble stew, and cucumber pickle and cold whey from the cellar were used as a dressing along with kvass.

Ingredients for okroshka with whey

Now the usual composition of traditional whey-based okroshka differs only slightly from the cool soup of the nobility. So what should you put in regular Russian soup?

The satiety of this dish is made by first boiling potatoes, meat and eggs in their jackets. It is these components that make up the base of the stew.
You can take anything as a meat ingredient, be it boiled or smoked chicken, sausage products, sliced veal or beef tongue. Yes, even fish fillets of perch, trout, pike or pike perch would be very appropriate in such a light summer lunch.
The freshest vegetables are designed to add lightness and freshness to the okroshka: cucumbers, radishes and the freshest herbs.
Sour cream or sour cream with mustard is most often used as a dressing, but from time to time they are replaced by mayonnaise. And some people don’t add any sauce at all.
And, of course, serum. For okroshka, it is best to use the freshest or slightly sour chilled whey or a mixture of whey with mineral water for pickiness.
