What is the name of a cold russian soup made from bitter or sour leaves?

My russian grandmother used to make a soup pronounced "Cheveyal" or "Shevel". It was made from these green leaves that were sour/bitter. I want to know what these leaves/plant are. I thought it was Sorrel but its not. Any ideas. Its a very popular village soup that russians and ukranians make?
