Spicy Vegan Beetroot Soup

0min

Flu season is in full effect in our area so homemade soup with local seasonal vegetables proves all of the nourishment needed to preserve hydration and aid in recovery.

As we’ve mentioned before, beets haven’t always gotten love in our house. But we changed that last year by trying borscht for the first time, and life hasn’t been the same. Our next adventure though takes us in the world of vegan cuisine and this vegan beet soup, purple cabbage, tomato, apple-cider vinegar, and just a little bit of heat, is the perfect warm-up during cold weather. So stay well rested, hydrated and fed! Try this recipe and experience these glorious purple veggies the way Mother Nature intended!
