  1. Grate carrots and beets and finely dice onions. Finely slice bell peppers if you are using them (optional).

  2. Slice potatoes in ¼ inch thick pieces and finely slice ½ head of cabbage.

  3. Fill a large soup pot with 10 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are almost cooked.

  5. While potatoes are cooking, in a large skillet over medium/high heat, add 4 Tbsp olive oil. Sauté your beets, carrots, onions and bell pepper (optional). Stir in 5 Tbsp ketchup when veggies are almost done cooking, add sautéed veggies to the soup pot.

  6. Add 2 Tbsp of Bouillon paste, 4 Tbsp of lemon juice, ¼ tsp ground pepper, 1 tsp of salt, 2 bay leaves, 2 Tbsp of chopped fresh dill and can of white beans (with their juice) to the pot.

  7. Cook another 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is very soft and well cooked. Add more salt and lemon juice to taste.
