Method
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.

- Add onion, garlic, carrot, and beets. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes fragrant and translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add shredded cabbage, bay leaves, diced tomatoes, and water. Increase the heat to high. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover with a lid. Allow the soup to simmer until the beets and cabbage are very soft, approximately one hour.

- Continue cooking for 5-10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream.
- Enjoy!
