Our set of products. In Latvia a cold soup traditionally use only the pickled beets you can buy in any store or marinate it yourself.

As with any cold soup, vegetables, greens, eggs and sausage it is necessary to finely chop.

Boil beetroot and cut into thin sticks or grate on a grater for Korean carrot. Now you need to boil the marinade for this, 300 ml of water add 2 tbsp. bright wine vinegar, allspice, cloves, Bay leaf, salt and sugar. The amount of vinegar, salt and sugar are approximate, because the marinade we are going to pour in the soup, it is important to taste You personally liked. Boil the marinade for 5 minutes, cooled to about 60 degrees and fill them with beets. I have beets marinated for 2 hours.

Mix all the ingredients together and diluted to the desired density of the very cold water. Cold soup is delicious even in this form, if you want you can season with sour cream and finely chopped garlic.
