Ingredients
1 lb beets, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped

1 medium potato, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cups vegetable broth
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste

2. Add the diced beets, carrots, and potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
