Chłodnik is a typical Polish soup eaten (cold) in summer.
From http://www.acatinthekitchen.com/

300 gr peeled beetroots
500 ml water
1 vegetable stock cube
5 radishes
2 red spring onions
2 tbsp chives
1 tbsp parsley
juice from 0.5 lemon
350 ml Kefir (or natural yoghurt)
50 ml sourcream
salt
pepper

Grate the beetroots and cook them in 5 deciliters of water, a stock cube and pepper. Cook until the beets are soft. Put aside the beets and the water, let cool, then transfer to the fridge to cool completely.
Chop the radishes, chives, onions and parsley. When the beetroots together with the beetroot water are cold, add the vegetables, lemon juice, sourcream and kefir. Salt and pepper the soup. Put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Serve the cold soup with boiled eggs.
