Beet Soup

Submitted by Redsie

"My gf gave me this recipe - it's delicious!! I translated from French... hope it makes sense!! ;) The recipe asked for 1 potato but she replaces it with 3 carrots!! You can serve it cold (which she prefers) or hot (which I prefer). She also suggests to serve it with a piece of goat cheese (mmmm!). I used recipe #72861 to bake my beets - so easy that way!! :) I wouldn't add sugar next time - I guess it depends how sweet the beets are!!"

Delicious! I used potatoes rather than carrots, used part broth and part water, and halved the amount of sugar. The beets were baked as the author suggested. So easy. I also didn't puree it as I like my beets to be chunky.
