Ingredients

• 2 quarts water
• 2 sliced onions (sweet, vidalia)
• 2 stalks celery
• 1 1/2 cups pared sliced carrots
• 1 small head cabbage, cut in wedges and sliced
• 3 cups pared, sliced BEETS
• 1 tbsp salt
• Bay leaf
• 2 tbsp miso OR 1 splash soy sauce
• 1 can (6oz) tomato paste
• 2 - 5 tbsp cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp sugar

Directions

1. Simmer everything except the tomato paste, vinegar, sugar, and 1 cup of the beets for 2 – 3 hours. There’s some magic in that third hour – so hold out if you can. Maybe people just get really hungry at that point.

2. Add the remaining ingredients, simmer 10 minutes. Keep adding the cider vinegar 1 tbsp at a time until it becomes perfect.

3. Use an immersion blender for a smooth soup.

4. Serve hot or cold, with sour cream.
