Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter,
- 1 onion, peeled and sliced thin
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 2 potatoes, peeled and diced small
- ½ medium head cabbage, shredded
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 c beef stock, good quality (we prefer low sodium)
- 3 large tomatoes or 2 c canned, diced tomatoes, diced
- salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
To Serve
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill (or dry)
- ½ c sour cream
Instructions
- Melt butter in medium soup pot or Dutch oven. Add onions and carrots and sauté over medium heat, until golden, 3-5 min. Add potatoes, cabbage, bay leaves, and beef stock. Cover and simmer 20 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes with any juice and mix well. Taste the soup and season as desired with salt and pepper. Continue to simmer until the tomatoes are heated through, 3-5 minutes.
- Serve the soup garnished with dill and sour cream, if desired.
Notes
- This soup pairs wonderfully with a thick slice of rye bread.
