Intro
This is a surprisingly seasonal dish. All the ingredients are harvest mid-summer.
Directions
- Prepare the vegetables. Dice the potatoes into small cubes and let them sit in water until needed.
- Finely chop the onions and set aside. Grate the carrots and beets.
- Finely slice the cabbage.
- Heat a large pot and add olive oil. Saute the onions until soft, then add the grated carrots and beets. Stir until softened, about 5-8 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock. Drain the potatoes and toss those in along with the dill.
- Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are soft, about 10-15 minutes. About halfway through, add the cabbage and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper.
- When ready to serve, add a dollop of sour cream to a bowl of hot soup.
