Kroshka Food

OKROSHKA (UKRAINIAN VERSION)

Steps:

• Boil the chicken breast. Drain and chill the chicken. Reserve the chicken stock and chill.
• Peel the hard boiled eggs. Remove the egg yolk and dice the egg white. Combine the egg yolk with some mayonnaise/buttermilk to make a paste.
• Chopped the green onions green part only. Sprinkle with some salt and mash with a fork to remove the sharpness from the green onions.
• Dice the cooled chicken breasts.
• Combine all the chopped vegetables. Toss the vegetables to mix well.
• Blend in the mayonnaise/buttermilk egg yolk mixture.
• Add the chopped chicken and toss. Add more mayonnaise or buttermilk to taste.
• Add the cooled chicken broth. Add more cold water if needed as it has to be soupy.
• Squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon to the soup. Stir then refrigerate the soup for at least 20 minutes before serving.
• When ready to serve, toast some bread and flavour the bread by rubbing a garlic clove over the toasted bread. Serve the Okroshka with the toasted bread and a dollop of sour cream. Okroshka can be kept in the refrigerator to up to 3 days.
