Somewhere between a soup and a stew, this one-pot wonder features beetroot, potato and beef fillet.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, sliced
1 large potato, peeled, cut into 2cm cubes
450g can whole baby beets, drained, roughly chopped
3 cups (240g) finely shredded savoy cabbage (about 1/4 small cabbage)
1.25L (5 cups) beef stock
200g beef fillet, very thinly sliced across the grain
4 tablespoons natural yoghurt
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Method

1.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Add the potato, beetroot, cabbage, stock and some salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently over low heat for 15 minutes or until the potato is tender.
2.

Divide the beef slices among 4 warmed soup bowls. Spoon over the hot soup (the heat will lightly cook the beef), then serve topped with yoghurt and chives.
