Instructions

  1. Heat up oil in a pot, and add diced onions. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions turn translucent.
  2. Meanwhile great beetroots and carrots, mince garlic, dice potatoes, and slice cabbage thinly.
  3. Add grated beetroot, carrot, and minced garlic to the onions, and cook for 2 minutes, so veggies soften a little.
  4. Now add potatoes, vegetable broth, powdered mushrooms and bay leaves, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let soup simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. After 15 minutes add cabbage and white beans, and cook for 10-15 minutes, until cabbage and potatoes are cooked.
  6. Discard bay leaves, and add fresh dill to the soup. Taste, season with lemon juice, salt and pepper, as needed.
  7. Serve soup warm with a dollop of vegan sour cream and some chopped fresh dill on top, plus some sliced bread on the side. Enjoy!
