1
Peel, grate, and slice all vegetables. Keep sliced potatoes in cold water to prevent browning until ready to use, then drain.
2
Heat a large soup pot (5 1/2 qt or larger) over medium-high heat and add 2 Tbsp olive oil.
3
Add grated beets and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beets are softened.
4
Add the vegetable broth and water to the pot.
5
Add sliced potatoes and carrots, then cook for 10-15 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.
6
While potatoes are cooking, place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 Tbsp oil.
7
Add chopped onion, celery, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 7-8 minutes.
8
Add tomato paste to the skillet, stir fry for 30 seconds, then transfer the contents to the soup pot to continue cooking with the potatoes.
9
When potatoes and carrots reach desired softness, add the can of beans with their juice, bay leaves, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, pressed garlic clove, and chopped dill to the soup pot.
10
Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, adjusting salt and vinegar to taste. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or mayo.
