Use the scaled ingredient list. Steps and temperatures stay unchanged; use a larger pan or dish if needed. Seasonings to taste stay to taste.
How to make it
Boil the beetroot until tender, cool it completely and grate it coarsely.
Cut the cucumbers into matchsticks and chop the dill and spring onion.
Mix the beetroot, cucumber and herbs with the soured cream and salt it now, before the kefir, so the salt disperses.
Pour in the cold kefir and stir. The soup turns an even pink.
Chill it for an hour. Warm šaltibarščiai makes no sense.
Boil the potatoes and serve them hot on a separate plate. Put halved eggs into the soup.
