Instructions: This chilled meat and vegetable soup is a popular Russian dish. Its served with ice cubes in it. Since theres no substitute for Russian Kvass, a fermented and slightly alcoholic liquid made from grain, the ingredients in this recipe will have to do.

You may substitute 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.

Sylvias notes: I used apple juice and leftover corned beef, and it was wonderful. Absolutely addictive.
