8 servings

  • 6 cups water
  • 0.75 tablespoon salt
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 0.25 cup chopped green bell pepper, divided
  • 0.5 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 medium beet
  • 0.5 cup canned peeled and diced tomatoes
  • 3 potatoes, quartered
  • 0.33333334326744 cup butter
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 1.5 cups canned tomatoes
  • 3 cups finely shredded cabbage, divided
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 0.75 cup diced potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place water, salt, carrots, 1/2 of the bell pepper, celery, beet, tomatoes, and quartered potatoes in a large stock pot over high heat. Bring to a boil.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Saute onions in butter until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove 1/2 cup of sauce from skillet, and set aside. Stir half of the cabbage into the skillet with remaining sauce, and continue simmering 5 minutes more, or until tender.
  • Remove beet from boiling liquid and discard. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon or tongs, and place in a bowl with remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the cream. Mash together until smooth.
  • Return the 1/2 cup of reserved onion-tomato sauce to the stock pot. Stir in diced potatoes, and simmer until just tender but still firm, approximately 5 minutes. Increase heat to a low boil, and stir in remaining cabbage, tomato sauce, and mashed potatoes. Reduce heat and simmer a few minutes more. Stir in remaining bell pepper, season with black pepper, and serve.
