    Tastes fantastic! My modifications included using "Better than Boullion" vegetable base (subtracts 37 per serving) to make it vegetarian and blending it breifly with an immersion blender for a thicker base. (you need to edit your directions to say when to put in the carrots!) - 3/30/08

    This looks interesting and healthy, but as a vegetarian, I will be substituting roasted vegetable broth for the beef broth. - 3/30/08

    I really liked this. Not bad for beets. ;) It is perfect for making as a batch and then taking to work as a healthy lunch, paired with crackers and some fruit for dessert. - 12/10/07

    I made this in a slow cooker and sliced up 12 oz. of chicken-apple smoked sausage to go with the veggies. I also substituted vegetable stock for the beef stock. - 12/21/11

    I'm not really a cabbage (or a beet) person. But the recipe was very nice and so easy to make. I just grated everything, chucked it in a pot, and simmered till done. - 6/24/07
