This cold soup is very refreshing and a staple of Lithuanian summer cuisine.
This dish in a delicate shade of pink comes from the Lowlands of Lithuania, as opposed to a white version, preferred in the country's highlands.
This recipe is prepared with several typical ingredients such as buttermilk called "kefyras" in Lithuanian, and pickled beets. Alternatively, the latter can be replaced with regular beets and a dash of vinegar added to the soup.
