I am a novice cook and I was very impressed with how well this soup turned out. Simple enough to make and the end product - "Wow". I have nothing but good things to say about this soup: - It is a nice portion size which is very thick and filling and yet has so few calories per serving. - I had this soup for lunch and it is great on its own for lunch with a nice roll. - I also enjoy cold soups and I believe this one will make a great one to use for dinner now that summer is fast approaching either as a cold soup or luke warm.
I had this with cottage cheese for lunch ! So Good !
This was very tasty, I'm not used to beetroots and found it slightly on the sweet side, but good as a small portion for a starter. Will make again soon!
