Step 1
Add vegetable oil to a heavy-bottomed pot. Add beets and sauté until a bit softened, about 30 minutes, covering after 10 minutes. Uncover, add carrots and sauté an additional 15 minutes. Add onions and garlic, add sauté another 10 minutes before adding the potatoes and water. Cover, increase heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add bay leaf and allspice peppercorns, reduce heat to medium and let everything cook together until all vegetables are soft, about 20-30 mins. Add frozen vegetables and chopped herbs. Taste, and season with vinegar, salt and pepper, as needed.
