Slow Cooker Veggie Borscht
beets / carrots / potatoes
Borscht - an Eastern European / Russian soup - is probably my favorite soup. I love the beautiful color and depth added by beets; even if you don't love beets, you will love the sweet-savoriness of this soup, I promise!
Smarts: Borscht is typically made with beef, but we're going to use kidney beans instead for our veggie version.

Make
- Slow cooker directions: Place onions, beets, carrots, potatoes, vegetable broth, tomato paste, and bay leaf into a slow cooker. Cook on high for 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours or low for 6 to 7 hours. (If not using a slow cooker, cook in a Dutch oven. Saute onions in heated oil for ~3 minutes and then add all ingredients through bay leaf, minus the cabbage, parsley, and beans. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 20 minutes. Add cabbage and beans and simmer for another 10 minutes.)
- Add cabbage and beans and cook on high for another 20 to 30 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide into bowls and enjoy with sour cream and parsley!
