I don't understand how a lot of people dislike beets. The color alone makes me fall in love with this root vegetable. It's a sweet vegetable, what's not to love? And all the health benefits are just a plus.

This soup is sweet and savory. My favorite combination after sweet and sweet. I love my sweet tooth and I make sure I satisfy it. Even if that meant eating a sweet meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Fruits for lunch and pancakes for dinner? Yes, please.

what I love about this recipe is that it's creamy while still simple. All you need is to steam the veggies and blend them. No need for any creamers or coconut milk. I like to add ground ginger  to spice things up a bit. Serve with lemon wedges for that extra kick.
