The summers in Poland certainly can get warm and as soon as they did, my mother prepared that soup! Beet greens are seasonal, therefore the soup could only be made from late May until July. If we were lucky, we ate that soup more then once a year, if not: not at all. But each time I have seen it on the plate I was really happy and I am pretty sure that it was because we had it pretty rarely and I liked it very much. Chlodnik Litewski is polish and lithuenian meal. Traditionally there was boiled crayfish or meat added to the soup, but I prefer it as a vegetarian meal. On the other hand my husband would be happier, if there were few pieces of chicken in it 🙂 But we are not going to tell him that this is an option, are we?;) Polish Cold Beetroot Soup No ratings yet Prep Time 30 minutes Total Time 30 minutes Course Starter Cuisine Polish Servings 4 People INGREDIENTS 1 bunch young beet greens with small beetroots1 bunch chives4 cucumber small0,5 bunch dill1 clove garlic1 l buttermilk3 tbsp cream heavy4 eggs cooked2 tbsp lemon juice 1 bunch young beet greens with small beetroots 1 bunch chives 4 cucumber small 0,5 bunch dill 1 clove garlic 1 l buttermilk 3 tbsp cream heavy 4 eggs cooked 2 tbsp lemon juice INSTRUCTIONS Wash carefully beet greens and beetroots.
