Incredible!
1 of 1 people found this review helpfulTHis is similar to my Polish and Lithuanian soups Polish using dill pickle and the Lithuanian using fresh cucumber . There is grated beet available at a local market here. that speeds this soup up even more. I use buttermilk sometimes adding sour cream ooh got to have some today - 8/3/09
