First of all put your beans in the bowl of water for about 6 hours so that they soak it and all good beans sink. Remove the ones on the surface and the water.

Put the beef with bones and beans in a pan. Add the water as much as you want to make soup but enough to cover the meat. Bring it to boil and remove the scum. Reduce the heat and cook with under the cover until the meat is almost done. It can be not only the beef, but pork or chicken, so adjust the cooking time so that the beans are ready by the time the meat is.

Peel potatoes and chop them in cubes so that they easily get in the spoon. Throw them in the pan and cook until they are almost done.

Peel and wash the carrot, beet and onions. Cut them in small straws in length smaller that the spoon.

Put a frying pan on a high heat. When it is hot be generous with the oil. Throw in the chopped carrot. When it is half cooked add the onion. Stir everything very often. When the onion is soft and golden add the beet root and mix everything nicely. If you want to add sweet pepper, any type of mushrooms or anything else it is nice to do that before throwing in the beet. When you see that all vegetables in the pan are getting red add canned mashed tomatoes, and stir it nicely, from time to time.

Throw in the pan the bay leaf, salt, pepper, hot red pepper (if you want) and add the sugar and vinegar. Stir everything carefully untill the vinegar fumes evaporate. And try not to breathe this thing.

When potatoes are almost cooked add chopped cabbage to the broth. Otherwise, uncooked potatoes get in reaction with uncooked cabbage and it can make you feel a little discomfort in your stomach.

In the frying pan, when you see that something can get burned or there is too little of liquid you can add a cup or two of broth you've made and stir. When everything became as red as possible and approximately two times less in volume you can add this saute in the broth and do not forget to stir everything.

After the soup gets to boiling again taste it and add whatever you miss: salt to add saltiness, pepper, vinegar to add sourness, chilly peppers to make hotter, sugar or even honey for sweetness.

After you adjust everything turn off the heat, add chopped garlic and parsley. Let it rest for several hours.

Serve hot with a spoon of sour cream. You can also sprinkle some chopped spring onions or dill on top. Enjoy your meal
