Many people look forward to summer not only because of the opportunity to relax and enjoy the warm weather, but also to indulge in interesting seasonal food.
One of the most popular summer dishes is okroshka.
This original soup has many variations of preparation. Due to its special taste, okroshka is quite popular.
One of the main protein components of the soup is sausage. The product is considered classic, so a rare housewife cooks okroshka without a meat semi-finished product. However, nutritionists are not thrilled with this idea, since sausage is a harmful and high-calorie product.
Is it possible to make a classic soup without this component?
As it turns out, okroshka won't get any worse if you cook it without sausage. Besides, it's not always possible to find a product of decent quality with a pleasant taste.
The easiest way to replace it is boiled poultry. Most often, the choice falls on chicken, but you can also try turkey. Some cook with other types of meat - pork and beef, but their cooking time is noticeably longer.
You can do without animal products altogether. For example, avocado is a great option to replace sausage. The fruit is much healthier than sausage and will look very bright and interesting in the soup.
Sausage can also be successfully replaced with tofu. Cheese is sold not only in the classic version, but also in various flavors.
