Step by Step guide

Step 1

Grate the carrot and beet on a coarse grater, cut the potato into cubes, and shred the cabbage. Divide the beet into 3 parts, pour boiling water over 1/3, and let it steep.

Step 2

In a pot, melt the oil and add finely chopped onion, cooking until golden brown.

Step 3

Add the cabbage, carrot, 1/3 of the beet, and potato, and let it simmer.

Step 4

Once everything is ready, add the broth (and meat) or water in a 2:1 ratio to the mixture, season with salt and pepper. After about 30 minutes, when the soup starts to boil, add the remaining 1/3 of the beet and garlic (first crush with a knife, then finely chop). Then add the juice from the steeped beet to give the soup a red color, and add the finely chopped herbs.
