beetroot soup recipe | beetroot and carrot soup | beet soup recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. a healthy and flavoured soup recipe made with beetroot, carrots, tomatoes and onions. it is a tasty appetizer or meal starter recipe which can also be served as a meal for kids and patients with indigestion problems. beet soup can be made with just beetroot, but i have flavoured with other vegetables too.
well, to be honest, i am not a huge fan of vegetable-based soup. and i always crave for indo chinese soup recipes which has to offer spicy, sour and bitterness in its taste. but i have a special interest to this soup recipe which is on par with street style soup recipes. yet it has to offer a lot of health benefits. perhaps, i would not have the same interest if the soup was just made with beetroot. but i have made this soup with beetroot as the main ingredient and other vegetables supporting the flavour and taste. particularly the combination of carrot and tomatoes introduces sweet and sour taste. in addition, it also introduces a bright colour to the soup and thus making it very attractive.
furthermore, some easy and important tips, suggestions for a perfect creamy beetroot soup recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using fresh beetroot and does not taste great with can beetroots. opt for can beetroots only if you are running low with fresh beetroots. secondly, adding other veggies with beetroot is completely optional and you can experiment it by adding other veggies too. for instance, you can add veggies like broccoli, potatoes, beans and also green peas too. finally, you can also make the same soup by skipping the tomatoes and adding lemon juice or vinegar. i personally like the tomato option but it is completely up to your preference.
