    1       c            Meat, cooked
    1                    Cucumber
    2                    Eggs, hard-boiled
    3                    Onions, green
    1       t            Sugar
    2       ts           Dijon mustard
      1/2   c            Sour cream
    4       c            Apple cider

   This chilled meat and vegetable soup is a popular
   Russian dish. It's served with ice cubes in it. Since
   there's no substitute for Russian Kvass, a fermented
   and slightly alcoholic liquid made from grain, the
   ingredients in this recipe will have to do.

   You may substitute 3 c beef stock and 1 c white wine
   for the apple cider.

   Dice meat. Peel and dice cucumber and eggs. Slice
   green onions. Combine first 4 ingredients. Mix
   together sugar, mustard, sour cream, and cider, and
   beat well. Add beef mixture and chill. Serve sprinkled
   with dill.

   Sylvia's notes: I used apple juice and leftover corned
   beef, and it was wonderful. Absolutely addictive.
