Add some meat broth, half a gallon of sour cream, mix it all together and adjust the thickness and sourness by adding more broth or cream, so that the soup is white and cloudy. Just before serving, add a few chunks of ice, a few quartered hard-boiled eggs, a few finely chopped cucumbers, threescore crayfish tails or some large cooked fish, or if you don't have any, some roasted veal cut into thin stripes.

Early September may be somewhat late for fresh cucumbers, but we do know that Sophie (Zosia) picked them with her own hand in her little garden.
