3 slices cotto salami, chopped up
Radishes (about 3/4 as much as the eggs and potatoes together)
Kosher dill pickles (1/4 as much as eggs and potatoes together)
Onion, chopped very sm. (green onions are good if you have them)
2 cloves garlic, sliced
Dill and parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
5 cans lite beer
1 pt. sour cream

Boil the eggs and peeled potatoes. Cool and slice them. NO MORE HEAT FROM THIS POINT. Pour beer into a large non-metal container and let sit to lose its carbonation. Pour a small amount of beer into the sour cream and stir to thin it. Slice radishes and add all ingredients to beer, stirring sour cream in thoroughly. Stir and chill.

Note: This cold soup is served in spring and summer in Leningrad and is a favorite at outdoor cafes. Men love it!
