Recently I have been making a few soups to weather the pandemic and the rains. While reading up on different recipes I was mesmerized by pictures of the beetroot soup. The vibrant colour was super attractive and I knew I wanted to make it for its visual value.
I am no fan of beetroot and refuse to have it in salads, sandwiches or vegetable preparations. The only type I like is the pickled variety u get in shawarma.
Made this beetroot carrot soup from Hebbars Kitchen and certainly a taste pleaser for beetroot lovers. I personally loved the pics more
