- Peel beets, add in to water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cook till done, about 45 min. Add in salt. Remove beets from water and set aside to cold.
- Peel potatoes and cut into 1/8s. Add in to beet water. Cook till almost done.
- Meanwhile, chop onion and bell pepper. If you would like to spice it up add in a couple of Jalapenos. (They would never do this in Russia.) Grate carrots. Finely chop garlic. Saute/fry vegetables in oil till tender. Add in tomato paste and just sufficient water to make a thick sauce. Add in sugar and cook an additional five min.
- Coarsely grate cooled beets.
- Coarsely chop 1/4 of a head of cabbage and add in to potatoes and beet water. Boil till the cabbage is tender, about 15 min. Add in vegetables and vinegar. Taste and correct for salt.
- Serve in soup bowls with a dollop of lowfat sour cream.
