For a long time, the okroshka was considered not a cold soup, but snack. The name of the dish comes from the method of its preparation: all the ingredients are finely cut or crumble. The horror story is calculated by centuries. According to one of the versions, Burlaki decided to diversify their menu and mixed the most affordable products - dried fish and kvass. Other cooks believe that the okroshka went from the Turius crushed into salted water or milk of sugar. Or from an even more ancient cold soup, in which radish and onions mixed. The okroshka used to eat mostly in rich families, where the meat was found all year round. In addition to kvass, soup was made on sour milk, cucumber or cabbage brine and had a horseradish. Now, in addition to kvass, kefir or tang often use, and instead of meat - fish.

- Okroshka - a useful dish. There are many vitamins in it, it refreshes well in the heat. But since there are many ingredients in the window, it is still heavy to digest. An abdominal bloation may occur, for example. If you refuse sausages, smoked meats in favor of boiled low-fat meat, take not sweet kvass (preferably without preservatives) or low-fat kefir, dairy serum and generously add radishes, cucumbers and greens - it turns out a very tasty dietary dish. It is better to remove potatoes from the recipe for dietary.
