CREAMY BEET SOUP RECIPE
This Creamy Beet Soup Recipe creates a vibrant color of soup, deep crimson-red as only beets can be…and the taste is pure beet. This easy soup recipe can be made in a high powered blender and since there is no cream at all in the soup, the bad fat count is light! You can eat it hot, but it would be equally good cold, which would make it a wonderful soup on a warm summer evening.
