This soup is my all time favorite summer soup! It takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish (if you buy pre-cooked beets). Its delicious, quick & super healthy. What’s not to love?? I have to say – I am slightly addicted to beets – I used to frequently get told off for eating too many at my grandparent’s house, but nothing compares to a pickled, cooked or grated beetroot in my eyes! This soup can almost pass as a juice & if you omit the sour cream, you could drink it.
