A MEAL IN A BOWL ......BORSCH

Its  been such a week , but we still need to get our vitamins and minerals to survive....so..
Into a pot ..two sliced red onions,  500gm of cubed  chuck steak  with a slug of rice bran oil. Cover and cook on stove top till the meat is brown.
Now add 500gm of  raw grated beetroot, 500grm of shredded  purple cabbage, 5 cups of beef stock, 2 tbs of red wine vinegar, 2 tbs of tomato paste,1 dsp of sugar,2 tsp of thyme, season with salt and ground black pepper. 250gm of diced potatoes.
Carefully mix all ingredients , bring to the boil and simmer in a 200deg C oven for 50 minutes with the pot covered.
Serve in warmed bowls  with a dob of sour cream and garnished  with fresh dill and fennel seeds.
This soup is a meal in its self and is great with crusty homemade bread.
 P.S.
(If you are really short of time  use edgells whole tinned potatoes drained and edgells  tinned diced beetroot  drained , now it is only a matter of time for the cabbage to soften , check your pot at 20 minutes  )
