BEET VEGGIE SOUP

Beets are an awesome veggie. Here are some interesting facts that may even surprise you. 

Beets are high in many vitamins and minerals. Potassium, magnesium, fiber, phosphorus, iron; vitamins A, B & C; beta-carotene, beta-cyanine; folic acid. 

Beets cleanse the body. 

Beets help your mental health. 

Beets are a high source of energy.

Okay, so here's how you make this delicious soup.

1. Buy the beets on the stem from the grocery store... as shown in the picture.

2. Cut the beet off the stem and peel it.

3. Cut it into small chunks.

4. Take the stem and the leaves and slice them up as well.

5. Throw everything in the pot of water with other veggies if you like. I added celery, onions, garlic and tomatoes, but you can add what you like best. Just keep in mind that everything will turn red.

6. As your soup base you can be flexible. For example, you may want to use a package of onion soup mix. For my base I used spices.
Cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and a dash of ginger powder.

7. Bring to a boil and let simmer to desired tenderness.

ENJOY!
