Nina's Russian Cold Beet Soup (Kholdnyk) image

Super easy and absolutely great version of the longer and original recipe for this soup that my grandmother brought from Russia. On a hot summer day, a bowl of this soup is an energizing lift. Add a piece of of rye or pumpernickel bread served on the side to complete the Russian experience.

I'm going to try this recipe, but I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not a fan of dill, so I'm going to use parsley instead.

I was a bit hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a big fan of beets, but I'm so glad I did! The beets are actually very mild in flavor and they add a beautiful color to the soup.
