Method

  1. Preparation: rinse the potatoes4, peel, boil in salted water until tender, approximately 20–25 minutes over medium heat; check doneness with a fork, then cool and cut into cubes 1–1.5 cm in size. Boil the eggs5 hard, peel, cool, and cut into cubes about 1 cm.

  2. Rinse the cucumber3, peel if desired, and dice 0.5–1 cm; dice the sausage into 0.5–1 cm cubes; rinse the green6 onions and finely chop as well.

  3. In a large bowl, add the diced potatoes4 and eggs5, then the cucumber3, sausage, and green6 onions; mix gently.

  4. Season: salt to taste, add mustard and mix well so all ingredients are evenly combined.

  5. Pour in the kefir1 cooled to cold temperature; mix and, if needed, dilute the kefir with water to the desired consistency.

  6. Cover and chill for 10–15 minutes before serving; serve cold with dill7; you can accompany with slices of rye bread or boiled young potatoes4.

Tips

Why it works
Cool the boiled potatoes and eggs before cutting to prevent the soup from turning warm and losing its refreshing quality. Use a fork to test doneness—it should slide in smoothly without resistance.
Substitutions
Replace boiled sausage with 60g of cooked ham or smoked salmon for a different flavor. Use 100g of radishes instead of cucumber if you prefer a sharper taste.
Common mistakes
Over-salting the soup before adding kefir—it will make the dish too salty and unbalanced. Taste after mixing all ingredients and adjust carefully.
Storing and reheating
Keeps for 2 days in the fridge; stir well before serving cold. Do not freeze—kefir separates and texture changes.
Serve with
Pair with slices of rye bread and a side of pickled vegetables for a hearty lunch. Works well after a light breakfast or as a midday meal.
