Classic okroshka with sausage, recipe with kefir
Classic okroshka on kefir with sausage - a simple recipe. If you have ever made simple okroshka with kvass, water and vinegar, or soda, then you can easily make delicious kefir okroshka with boiled sausage. To prepare this summer “yummy” you will need a low-fat fermented milk drink and exclusively boiled sausage.
From the specified amount of products you will get approximately four servings of okroshka per hungry eaters.
Ingredients
- Sausage – 200 gr.

- Onion feather – 50 gr.
- Dill – 50 gr.
- Potatoes - 2 pcs.
- Egg – 2 pcs.
- Kefir – 1/2 l.
- Radish – 50 gr.
- Red pepper – 1/5 teaspoon
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
- Mint – 4 leaves
Step 1.
First you need to boil the eggs. Place chicken eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Boil and cook for 6 minutes, reducing heat to low. The eggs don't need to boil too much. If you cook them over low heat, you have a better chance that they will not burst or leak during cooking.
After the eggs are cooked, drain the water and shake the pan vigorously to break the shells. Leave the saucepan to cool. After this procedure, the eggs are easy to clean. If the egg is too fresh, you can add cold water to it.
Step 2.
Peel the potatoes, wash and boil. Cut it into four parts and let cool.
Finely chop the onion. The most delicious okroshka made with kefir is obtained as such if all the ingredients are finely chopped.
Step 3.
Chop the dill. If desired, you can also add parsley, but first it is advisable to mash it a little with salt with a masher to make the leaves softer.
Step 4.
Now it’s the radish’s turn. It’s worth mentioning here that if you are interested in the recipe for classic okroshka with kefir, then you need to replace the radish with a simple radish. And if you want to get a little creative, then radishes will be just right here. It will give the okroshka greater spiciness and piquancy. Finely chop the daikon or black radish, or even better, grate it on a coarse grater.
Step 5.
Cut the sausage into small cubes the size of a pea.
Step 6.
Take a two-liter saucepan and pour all the chopped ingredients into it. Finely chop the potatoes and eggs and add them to the mixture.
Add red pepper and salt. We add red pepper to spice up the dish and increase the appetite of eaters.
Step 7
Stir the resulting porridge and pour kefir over it. Mix the contents of the pan again so that the dry products are evenly distributed throughout the kefir. This is how okroshka is made with kefir. All that remains is to pour into plates and garnish each serving with a mint leaf.

Okroshka is an amazing dish! No matter how much you cook it, it is still eaten in one day. Moreover, as my family noticed, it’s not so important whether it’s hot or cold outside.
By the way, this cold soup has been known for a very long time and has undergone a huge number of changes in its composition. Therefore, everyone has their own traditional recipe.
Today we will prepare okroshka with kefir. Some may be surprised, but in fact, its sourness and thickness only add piquancy to the freshness of the vegetables. And, of course, I won’t ignore gourmets; a very unusual recipe with salmon has been prepared for them.
Meat and vegetables are taken as the basis, but everyone understands something different by these concepts. Some people use sausages as meat, while others use turkey.
Everything in okroshka can be considered dietary products except potatoes and sausage.
We will simply remove the tubers from the recipe and add the correct protein in the form of chicken (can be replaced with turkey). This is important both for those losing weight and for those building muscle.
To get more microelements and vitamins, do not skimp on greens; anything will do: dill, parsley, celery, onions and even cilantro.
In this recipe, kefir is diluted with mineral water. Of course, you don’t have to do this, but then you get a very thick consistency. And the bubbles in mineral water add an interesting note and taste.
Ingredients:

Boil the eggs for 10 minutes and the fillets for 30 minutes until done.
Finely chop all ingredients. To get more thickness, you can use a fork to separate the meat fibers.
Mix all the ingredients and pour in kefir and mineral water.
For those losing weight, salt is not added to this recipe, but you can replace it with natural salt in the mineral water itself, for example Essentuki No. 7.
You can also add a spoonful of horseradish or mustard for richness.
If you need a healthy snack rather than a protein one, then add celery or lettuce to the greens.

Delicious recipe with mustard
My mother-in-law opened okroshka with mustard for me. Before seasoning the chopped ingredients, she dilutes a spoonful of mustard in a glass of mineral water. And then this mixture is poured into kefir or sour cream.
The taste is unusual, a little vigorous, but with sourness. By the way, the aroma does not come from mustard, but from all the ingredients, I didn’t even realize at first that mustard was present.

Okroshka on kefir with chicken
Chicken is an excellent substitute for sausage in many dishes. And she is often at hand. For example, when there is a desire to make several food options at once, then broth is boiled for soup, and the finished meat is used in salad or okroshka.
Ingredients:
- Chicken fillet – 0.4 kg

Chop the greens and add a spoonful of mustard and sour cream.
All this needs to be ground and placed in a common container.
Salt and add 0.5 tsp. citric acid, then fill the cold soup with kefir and water.
Not everyone likes citric acid, so it’s best to replace it with lemon juice.
Very tasty proven recipe with radishes and meat
We'll take beef. Take fresh, it tastes more tender and cooks faster.
You may have noticed that any meat product is greatly complemented by fresh vegetables. For example, as soon as the chicken salad starts to play, you should chop a cucumber and tomato with it.
Since okroshka is considered a spring dish, we often find radishes in its composition. We start eating this vegetable very first, because neither cucumbers nor tomatoes have yet had time to produce their first harvest in May, but okroshka with radishes is already ready.
So, let's start cooking.
Ingredients:
- 1 liter of kefir
- 200 g boiled meat
- 200 g boiled potatoes
- 200 g cucumbers
- 200 g radish
- 4 chicken eggs
- Greenery
- Salt pepper
Please note that we take all ingredients in the same proportions.
We wash the radishes well and cut off the butts.
Boil the meat until it becomes soft. It is better to take beef or veal.
We grind all the products.
But we don’t cut one cucumber, but grate it. This will release more juice and the soup itself will become thicker. I know that many eggs don’t cut all of them, and sometimes they leave one so that they can grate it later.
Look how much meat you have left that you can’t put in the potatoes. After all, okroshka is, first of all, a healthy and light dish; it is important to stop here in time and not oversaturate it with carbohydrates.
Unusual composition with salmon
I have never tried to eat salted fish with a fermented milk product. But in our Ural cafes and restaurants you can see this amazing combination on the menu. Surprisingly, the taste of fish okroshka is very delicate, and the smell of salmon is almost not noticeable.
Ingredients:
- 150 g lightly salted salmon
- 3 small cucumbers
- 1 stalk of celery
- 0.5 onions
- 100 g greens
- 1 potato tuber
- 2 eggs
- 150 ml kefir
- 1 tsp mustard
- 10 ml mineral water
Boil potatoes and eggs in advance. Cool them and start chopping them finely.
Try to remove the bones from the salmon. This is important, especially if there are children at the table.
Rinse the greens first under running water and dry on a towel. If you don’t want to cut with a knife, then ordinary kitchen scissors will cut the greens just as well.
Chop all the ingredients and mix them in one bowl.
Fill with kefir and mineral water. Then stir the mustard into the soup.
Advice for those who like to dilute kefir with mineral water - do not take the highly carbonated type, because your soup may foam; it is better to take a medium-carbonated one.
The question arises - how much mineral water to pour. There are no clear proportions here. If you don’t like the taste of kefir, then dilute them one to one.

Ingredients
- Ham – 400 gr;
- Radishes – 5-6 pcs.;
- Dill - to taste;
- Kefir – 300-400 ml for each serving (but the volume of the fermented milk product may be different, it all depends on the size of the intended serving);
- Potatoes – 2 pcs. large size;
- Parsley - to taste;
- Green onions – 1 bunch;
- Salt - to taste;
- Eggs – 2 pcs.;
- Cucumber – 2 pcs.
Preparation of products
We prepare some ingredients immediately before cooking. This simple process can take 15-20 minutes. What we need to do:
- Wash all vegetables in clean water and be sure to dry them. If it is a radish, then wipe it with paper napkins.
- Boil the potatoes in their jackets, cool and peel the skins.
- Boil eggs hard. After they are cooked, pour cold water over them and peel them.
- Making figured ice. Pour water into special forms and put them in the freezer for a short time. We use the resulting ice cubes at the very end of preparing kefir okroshka.
Preparation
- Crumble boiled eggs and potatoes.
- Cut the ham into cubes.
- We also cut the cucumbers into small cubes. If the cucumbers are overripe or large, then cut off the peel.
- Wash all the greens needed for the dish in clean water, dry and finely chop.
- We transfer the slices into a special deep bowl or any other container that will accommodate the food.
- Add salt to the dish to your taste.
- Pour kefir into the crumble, mix everything and divide into portions.
- Finally, the kefir okroshka is decorated with 2-3 ice cubes.
Incorrect cooking technology can affect the taste of the finished dish. So that all your efforts are not in vain, to help every housewife we offer some simple tips for preparing kefir okroshka.
- It is necessary to choose kefir for crumbling that is not greasy or thick. Otherwise, it won’t turn out to be soup, but porridge. But if there is no other product available, then you can dilute the thick fermented milk product with mineral water (necessarily unsalted and non-carbonated).
- Some vegetables need to be soaked before cutting (this is especially important with radishes and cucumbers). The same goes for greenery.
This simple procedure is necessary to ensure that the products:
- “got rid of” nitrates;
- became more elastic and acquired a fresh look.
- You should add kefir to the crumble last and only after seasoning. It can be played by a mixture of mustard and ground egg yolks, diluted with ground pepper, sour cream (or kefir) and sugar.
- Before serving, the summer dish should sit for 30 minutes. It is advisable not to violate the waiting hour. Because in an overcooked soup, the ingredients will separate, and in a soup that is not worthy, the vegetables will not be tasty due to the fact that they do not have time to soak in the dressing.

Okroshka with kefir, recipe step by step
First of all, to prepare okroshka with kefir, we need to boil the potatoes and eggs.
Cook these ingredients in two different pans. Eggs – 10 minutes from the moment of boiling. Then drain the boiling water from the pan and fill it with cold water to cool the eggs.
Cook the potatoes until fully cooked - about 30-35 minutes. We check the readiness of the potatoes by piercing a knife. Then remove the potatoes from the boiling water and leave to cool for 15 minutes.
After the potatoes and eggs have cooked and cooled, they should be peeled and cut into cubes. Place the ingredients in a suitable container - container or pan. And don’t forget that soon the eggs and potatoes will be joined by the rest of the components of kefir-based okroshka, so the dishes should be capacious enough.
We also cut the boiled sausage (or ham) into cubes and place them in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
Wash vegetables, namely cucumbers and radishes, thoroughly. Cut into cubes or small strips.
All ingredients except parsley are ready. Finely chop the washed sprigs of greenery and add to the bowl with the okroshka. Mix everything thoroughly.
Kefir should be added to okroshka right before serving, as well as salt. The thickness of okroshka on kefir is usually regulated independently, but for the amount of ingredients I indicated, it took me about 1.5 liters of kefir, and the okroshka on kefir was quite thick.

Buy boiled sausage or ham, fresh cucumbers, kefir, green onions and dill with parsley. If desired, add radishes to the okroshka. You can replace the sausage with meat, which you pre-cook.
Buy low-fat kefir. Fat kefir is thick, turn okroshka into porridge. But a product with a high fat content can be diluted with cold, mineral or boiled water. If you use meat instead of sausage, do not buy fatty beef or pork. For okroshka, prepare chicken breast, turkey or boiled tender veal. Rabbit meat will also work.
