The following is what I use, it takes < 45 minutes. I use chicken instead of beef so it can cook faster with less oil.
1. 8 cups of water, some olive oil, bring to boil, add 2 bay leaves if you like
2. 1 large beet, peeled and sliced, 4 carrots (don't use the large ones, just medium size) peeled and chopped, 1 large onion, peeled and chopped, 2 large potatoes (or 4 small ones), peeled and chopped, 1/2 cabbage (or 1 small one).
3. bring everything to boil and cover it up. Keep in small heat and cook for 30 minutes.
4. season chicken pieces (small cubes, boneless and skinless) with salt. Do that after step 2. This will allow 30 minutes to cure.
5. Add chicken after step 3.
Soup is ready in 15 minutes. You can add sour cream to serve.
