Course Soup

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cups broth chicken or vegetable
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 medium red beets peeled and diced
  • 1 large potato diced
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 2 cups shredded kale it called for cabbage, but I made it with kale and think that worked out great!
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill minced
  • 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Warm 2 tsp olive oil over medium heat in a large pot.
  • Add diced onion, saute until soft.
  • Add water, broth, beets, potato, carrots, and bay leaf.
  • Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the veggies are cooked.
  • Add the kale (or cabbage) and fresh dill and simmer another 5 minutes.
  • Turn off heat.
  • Add vinegar and season with salt and pepper.

Notes

Soup is always great to make in large batches and freeze for future meals. This kind of recipe is also easy to modify to suit your own taste.
