About the recipe
Fresh beef broth is best for this, but if you don’t have any to hand, you can used a tinned version.
Recipe From
Ingredients
1 red onion
2 carrots
2 large beetroot
2 celery stalks
1 clove of garlic
1 x 400g tin plum tomatoes
1.2 litres organic beef stock
2 tablespoons tomato purée
1 teaspoon caster sugar
½ a very small red cabbage
4 tablespoons sour cream
a few sprigs of fresh dill
Method
- Peel and finely slice the onion, peel and finely chop the carrots and beetroot, then trim and finely chop the celery. Peel and crush the garlic.

- Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
- Very finely shred and add the cabbage and simmer for another 30 minutes or so, or until very soft.
- Blend the soup until smooth, or leave it as is.
- Serve hot with swirls of the sour cream and a little finely chopped dill sprinkled over.
