Put meat in a 3 qt (liter) saucepan, fill it with cold water (about 3/4 full), and bring to a boil.
Skim the scum continuously with a slotted spoon while it is starting to boil and continue until it comes to a full boil.
Add salt, pepper, bay leaves, and reduce the heat so the meat boils gently until done (will be soft and not red inside when tested with a knife).
Take out the meat.
Cut cabbage and potatoes, put inside the pan, and boil 10-15 minutes.
Grate the carrot and beet, chop the onion and sweet pepper, and saute in vegetable oil in a skillet, with the added vinegar, about 5 minutes or until you can smell the vegetables.
Put this mixture into the saucepan.
Simmer gently about 5 minutes.
Cut small pieces of meat and put into each individual serving bowl. Add the soup and top with sour cream to taste. Enjoy!
