Nutritional Information

This raw soup is not only tasty but also low in calories, with about 150-200 calories per serving, depending on the amount of sour cream and oil used. The vegetables are rich in fiber, vitamins (such as A, C, K), and minerals, making this soup an ideal choice for a healthy diet.

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preparing the vegetables:
Start by peeling the carrots, parsnip, onions, and celery. Cut the vegetables into large pieces for easier juicing. The fresh aroma of the vegetables will give the soup a wonderful flavor.

2. Juicing the vegetables:
Use a juicer to extract the juice from the carrots, parsnip, onion, and celery. This step will help retain the nutrients and provide a liquid base for the soup.

3. Preparing the tomato:
Take a tomato and an onion and blend them in a blender until you achieve a smooth puree. This mixture will add a rich flavor to the soup.

4. Mixing the ingredients:
In a serving bowl, use a small whisk to beat the egg yolk and sour cream until they become a creamy mixture. Add the tomato and onion puree, then pour in the borscht and the juice obtained from the vegetables.

5. Adding optional ingredients:
If desired, you can add a few drops of lemon juice for extra freshness. Also, for a richer texture, you can add milk.

6. Finalizing the soup:
Season the soup with olive oil (if you choose to use it) and mix well. Add finely chopped greens, such as lovage and parsley, for a vibrant flavor.

7. Serving:
The raw soup can be served immediately, but it is also delicious if left to sit for a while to blend the flavors. Garnish each serving with whole leaves of greens for an attractive appearance.
