ABOUT Beetroot Soup RECIPE

This is my version of a hearty and equally nutritious soup in a South Indian style. Beetroot is considered as a blood purifier, besides a great source of iron, calcium and fibre. So there is nothing like having a bowl of this wonderful soup along with some salads for a light dinner as it is very filling and wholesome. Do not strain it, as the fibre present in it will be lost.
