Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add broth, diced potato, coleslaw mix, and bay leaf. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are starting to soften, stirring occasionally.
Stir in beets and tomato paste. Continue simmering about 5 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through. Remove the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve topped with sour cream and chopped fresh dill, if desired.
