In Honor of the Rosh Ha'Shannah (the Jewish New Year) here is my very updated version of the Polish Peasant classic. It is so healthy, if you eat it, you will live 100 years.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of fresh red beets (3 or 4 depending on size), peeled and chopped shopping list
- ½ head of green cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped shopping list
- 1 large red onion, chopped shopping list
- ½ bunch cilantro, chopped shopping list
- 2 cans condensed French onion soup with 1 can water shopping list
- fresh ground black pepper to taste shopping list
- sugar or Splenda to taste shopping list
- balsamic vinegar to taste shopping list
- sour cream (lite or non-fat ok) and fresh chives for topping. shopping list
How to make it
- Cook all the ingredients except vinegar, sweetener and pepper, in a big pot on low until all the veggies are soft, about 1 ½ hour.
- When the soup has cooled, blend the soup in a blender. You will probably need several batches so put the blended soup in a second pot. The consistency of the coup should be thick, so adjust the amount of liquid to taste.
- When all the soup is blended, add balsamic vinegar and sweetener to taste. It should have a sweet & sour effect and be very bright.
- Add ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve hot or cold (but cold is more traditional) with sour cream and chives.
