Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
•  

  1/4 cup finely chopped dill

•  

  1 small bunch radishes, cut in half and thinly sliced

•  

  1 small cucumber, peeled and cut into small dice

•  

  4 hard-boiled large eggs, cut into small dice

•  

  2 midsize boiled waxy potatoes (red or golden), cut into small dice

  3 cups plain milk kefir

•  

  1-2 cups water

•  

  Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Combine chopped scallions, dill, radishes, cucumber, eggs, and potatoes in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl combine kefir and water until desired consistency, remembering that the end result is a soup, not a salad.
