Chilled Polish beet soup with buttermilk, yogurt, cucumber, radish and eggs.
About Chilled Beet Soup (Chłodnik)
Anna Hurning's Polish chłodnik combines roasted beets with buttermilk and plain yogurt. She connects the cold soup with family meals in Poland, including a birthday dinner prepared by her parents.
Grated beetroot colours the dairy base pink, while radishes, pickling cucumber, dill and chives add freshness and texture. Garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and sugar season the mixture.
The soup is chilled well before serving. Hard-boiled eggs accompany each portion, adding a firm contrast to the cool, creamy beet-and-vegetable base.
