To this, add a small spice container with a few peppercorns, a bay leaf or two, 1/2 red hot pepper, as well as 1/3 cup of pearl barley (optional).

Cut up a very large onion (chop fine) and some parsley. Add to stock. Continue boiling.

Add a finely shredded large beet and a few carrots (shredded). Then peel and cube several potatoes and about 3 cups cabbage (cut fine) and add to soup. Continue boiling. Last of all, when vegetables are done, add 1 tin tomato soup and some dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
