Beetroot, hailed as superfood

I love to use beetroot wherever I can as Beetroot has been gaining in popularity as a superfood.

Because this root vegetable is in hibernation in most of kitchens, and It’s often only added as salad by most of us. But beetroot is actually very versatile and goes with anything from juices, curries and desserts.

Recent studies claim that beet juices are known to improve overall health, help to reduce blood pressure, and increase blood flow.

An increasing number of juices and drinks are now incorporating beetroot to increase the nutritional value of food. That’s the reason delicious Beetroot tikkis and Buckwheat, chocolate and beetroot cake are my family’s absolute favourite 😋

It’s time you too add this nutritious root to your meal. Coming back to recipe of soup, my version of this beetroot soup is quick and easy made with beets, pears, carrots, cabbage, onions and garlic.

The vegetables here are sauted first and then pressure cooked. Upon cooling it’s  blended in the blender.  It is seasoned with salt, pepper powder and some rosemary.

Winter season apt for piping hot soups

As the Winters have already set in this part of the world, i was craving for some piping hot bowl of soup.

Beetroot being my favourite, and in winter season we get all kind of vegetables and fruits in abundance. It’s rich in antioxidants, betaine,iron and potassium.

So i planned to make hot soup for my family for dinner. We all loved it and no one came to know that it has some secret ingredient which i have sneaked in.

After having the soup, i was wondering that day why i haven’t shared any of my soup recipes with the world.

So what better than to begin with beautiful looking, healthy Beetroot soup| Beetroot pear soup.

Are you reading the above sentence again? You bet, this soup is made of beetroots and pears. Yes even i was amazed to see this recipe once shared by a talented member Mr. Vishal on a facebook group.

I have completely tweaked the ingredients and cooking method of this recipe, though the idea of using pears in this soup remains the same.

My family loves beetroot soup which i make along with carrots and tomatoes, this time i decided to sneak in pears in this soup.
