Cold kefir soup

On a boiling hot summer’s day, there’s nothing else anyone dislikes more than standing next to a hot stove or oven. So here’s a healthy cold kefir soup for days exactly like that (to make it into a minimal-cook version, you can leave the potatoes out but you’ll still need to boil the eggs). It tastes amazing the next day but it is a bit unusual if you’re not familiar with kefir. Kefir is sooooooo goooood for you, containing protein, Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D to name a few. If you want to make a quick but tasty kefir cake instead, here’s a recipe: thenonglutenone.com/kefir-cake-with-frozen-berries. It is naturally gluten free and you can always leave the meat out to make it vegetarian.
