Russian Cabbage Soup

Russian Cabbage Soup

Ingredients

1/2 a head of cabbage, cut into small pieces
3-4 carrots, sliced
1/2 an onion, diced
olive oil
1/2 box of Beef Broth
2 cups water
1/4 cup beef, cut into small pieces
1/4 tsp caraway seeds
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1 clove of garlic per bowl, minced (optional)
sour cream or almond milk (optional) 

Instructions

Saute carrots, beef, and caraway seeds in olive oil until they are slightly browned. Add to pot. Saute the onions until they are translucent, then add them to the pot. Pour the beef broth and water over them. Heat to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Add the cabbage and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook on low heat for 45 minutes or until the carrots are soft and tender.

Ladle into bowls. Stir in a dollop of sour cream (or a teaspoon of almond milk) and minced garlic.

Note

I added almond milk to my bowl instead of sour cream to make it a little creamier, and was surprised at how much of a difference it made. It really brought out the flavors of the cabbage and caraway seeds.
