I have been talking to my family and hearing the stories about hot, sunny days. Something that Poles are definitely used to once in a while, but not too often.<\/p>\n<p>Poland&#8217;s climate can be divided into few distinct parts: the coast, inland areas, the land of the lakes and the mountains. Each has its own slightly different weather patterns throughout the season. But this June has been pretty hot in all parts of Poland. So how do people &#8220;fight the heat&#8221;???<\/p>\n<p>Just like anywhere else, water parks, lakes, Baltic Sea come to the rescue&#8230;but there is one more thing&#8230;Polish <strong>ch\u0142odnik<\/strong>! \u00a0I&#8217;m sure a lot of you heard of this delicious cold soup!<\/p>\n<p>Ch\u0142odnik is a traditional soup of Polish cuisine. The soup is served cold, as its name indicates. Ch\u0142odnik is rich in vitamins, has a nice tart aftertaste and is very refreshing. There are few different ways to make it. The most popular one is made out of beets, cucumbers, dill, yoghurt, sour cream and often with the addition of hard boiled eggs and radishes. There is also a popular version of it without the beets and cucumber plays the lead role in this one.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7945\" style=\"width: 693px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beets-farm-produce-farmer-1034825.jpg\" aria-label=\"Beets Farm Produce Farmer 1034825 683x1024\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7945\" class=\"wp-image-7945 size-large\"  alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beets-farm-produce-farmer-1034825-683x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beets-farm-produce-farmer-1034825-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beets-farm-produce-farmer-1034825-233x350.jpg 233w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beets-farm-produce-farmer-1034825-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7945\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by i love simple beyond from Pexels<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This classic Polish soup is the ultimate in summer refreshment: Cool, creamy, and gently crunchy from cucumbers, with a gorgeous fuchsia color that makes it even more unforgettable.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7944\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beetroot-2740379_1920.jpg\" aria-label=\"Beetroot 2740379 1920 1024x665\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7944\" class=\"wp-image-7944 size-large\"  alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"665\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beetroot-2740379_1920-1024x665.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beetroot-2740379_1920-1024x665.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beetroot-2740379_1920-350x227.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beetroot-2740379_1920-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2019\/06\/beetroot-2740379_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7944\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ch\u0142odnik.
