Add the mirepoix to soup pot once meat has cooked for 30 minutes.

Prepare the sauce.

Sauté the onion in a tablespoon of oil over medium heat until golden brown.

Add tomato puree, ketchup, broth and seasonlightly with black pepper and salt.

Simmer on low heat for 7 to 8 minutes, then set aside.

After braising meat for 1 hour, add potatoes, prepared tomato sauce, cabbage, dill and parsley.

Set heat to medium and cook uncovered.

Bring the soup to a simmer then set a timer for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, cover and remove from heat.
