Beet Soup
Beets have the highest sugar content of all vegetables, yet
are very low in calories. These vegetables contain powerful
nutrient compounds that help protect against heart disease,
birth defects and certain cancers, especially colon cancer.
Follow the step-by-step recipe below for a delicious beet
soup. Very different for sure!
Ingredients:
1 bunch of beets, 1 lb carrots, 4-5 potatoes, 4 cups chicken
broth, salt & pepper, and optionally some brown sugar.
1. Boil
Select small or medium-sized firm beets,
smooth-skinned and deep in color. Avoid beets that
have spots & bruises. Wash & scrub these roots
in cold water. Chop off the top & bottom so you
end up with the roots only. Do not peel yet. Place in
a pot, cover with water, and add some salt. Boil the
beets for about 20 minutes or until soft.
|
 |
Once cooked set the beets aside to cool off, then
peel.
|
 |
2. Prepare Carrots
Prepare & wash about 1 lb of baby carrots. If you
only have large carrots, then peel and chop into small
chunks.
|
 |
3. Prepare Potatoes
Wash & peel 4-5 medium size potatoes and then cut
into cubes.
|
 |
4. Cube Beets
Cut the cooked beets into cubes.
|
 |
5. Cook
Add the potatoes and carrots into a pot with chicken
broth and boil until soft. Add the cubed beets. Taste
the soup and if necessary add salt, pepper, and a
little brown sugar if you prefer the soup to be
sweeter.

6. Enjoy
This is the best part: Ladle into soup plates, eat hot
or cold and enjoy!
