Date made: 1/4/2011
1 lb stewing beef
1/2 medium yellow onion
8 c water
4-5 medium Idaho potatoes
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
3-4 small/medium beets, including stems and greens, chopped*
2 carrots, diced
1/2 c quick pearl barley
2 bay leaves
2 T dried dill
1 green onion*
salt and pepper to taste
Brown onion and beef in oil in large soup pot over medium heat.
Add remaining ingredients, except for beet greens and and bring to boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add beet greens and pearl barley and simmer until barley is cooked and meat is tender, about 10 minutes.
I'm honestly not a huge beet person, but my Russian-obsessed boyfriend is and thought the stew could use more beets. I thought it was just enough... to each their own. Nevertheless, it's nice and hearty and is a wonderful complement to a cold, wintry day!
