Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

1 c Meat, cooked

1 Cucumber

2 Eggs, hard-boiled

3 Onions, green

1 t Sugar

2 ts Dijon mustard

1/2 c Sour cream

4 c Apple cider

This chilled meat and vegetable soup is a popular

Russian dish. It's served with ice cubes in it. Since

there's no substitute for Russian Kvass, a fermented

and slightly alcoholic liquid made from grain, the

ingredients in this recipe will have to do.

3 c beef stock and 1 c white wine

for the apple cider.

Dice meat. Peel and dice cucumber and eggs. Slice

green onions. Combine first 4 ingredients. Mix

together sugar, mustard, sour cream, and cider, and beat well. Add beef mixture and chill. Serve sprinkled

with dill.

Sylvia's notes: I used apple juice and leftover corned

beef, and it was wonderful. Absolutely addictive.
