INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 💧 6 cups water
    • 🧂 ¾ tablespoon salt
    • 🥕 ½ cup finely chopped carrots
    • ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper, divided
    • ½ stalk celery, chopped
    • 🟥 1 medium beet
    • 🍅 ½ cup canned peeled and diced tomatoes
    • 🥔 3 potatoes, quartered
    • 🧈 ⅓ cup butter
    • 🧅 ½ cup chopped onion
    • 🍅 1 ½ cups canned tomatoes
    • 3 cups finely shredded cabbage, divided
    • 🥛 ¼ cup heavy cream
    • 🥔 ¾ cup diced potatoes
    • 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
    • 🧂 Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Place water, salt, carrots, 1/2 of the bell pepper, celery, beet, tomatoes, and quartered potatoes in a large stock pot over high heat. Bring to a boil.

2

Melt 1/3 cup butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Saute onions in butter until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove 1/2 cup of sauce from skillet, and set aside. Stir half of the cabbage into the skillet with remaining sauce, and continue simmering 5 minutes more, or until tender.

3

Remove beet from boiling liquid and discard. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon or tongs, and place in a bowl with remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the cream. Mash together until smooth.

4

Return the 1/2 cup of reserved onion-tomato sauce to the stock pot. Stir in diced potatoes, and simmer until just tender but still firm, approximately 5 minutes. Increase heat to a low boil, and stir in remaining cabbage, tomato sauce, and mashed potatoes. Reduce heat and simmer a few minutes more. Stir in remaining bell pepper, season with black pepper, and serve.
