Ingredients

  • 5 qt. water
  • 1 bunch beets (about 1 lb.)
  • 1 lb. cabbage
  • 1 lb. fresh or canned tomatoes
  • 12 bouillon cubes (onion, chicken or beef or combination of one with onion)
  • 1/2 lb. navy or pea beans
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • diced vegetables: carrots, 1/2 bunch onions (1/2 lb.)

Method

  • Fill 6-quart pot with 5 quarts of water.
  • Add diced vegetables.
  • Boil until vegetables are tender (1 1/2 hours).
  • If you use canned beets, do not add them until last 5 minutes.
  • When adding beets, heat just to boiling, otherwise soup will lose its bright red color.
