1 bay leaf
3 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Add another Tablespoon or two of oil to the soup pot and add the onion. Sauté onions until they are browned on the edges, scraping the meat fond off the bottom of the pan as you cook the onions.

Stir in the beef broth, tomatoes, bay leaf, sugar, red wine vinegar, ketchup, and hot sauce. Add the beef to the soup pot. Bring to a strong simmer. Cover tightly and place in the oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the beef is tender and done.

6

Remove from the oven and place the soup pot back on the stove top. Turn the heat to medium.

7

Stir the sliced carrots and chopped cabbage into the soup. Add more beef broth or water if needed to cover the meat and vegetables. Simmer for 30 minutes until the carrots and cabbage are cooked through.
