Step 1
Pour broth into a large pot over medium-high heat with bay leaf and caraway seeds. Bring to a boil, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Add beets and red wine vinegar. Stir well and simmer for 8–10 minutes until flavors meld and broth turns deep magenta.
Step 3
Taste and adjust vinegar or salt as needed. The soup should taste bright and slightly tangy.
Step 4
Toast rye bread slices in a skillet or toaster until edges are crispy, ~2 minutes per side.
Step 5
Ladle soup into bowls. Top each with a dollop of sour cream, a scatter of fresh dill, and crumbled or cubed rye bread.
