Easy Beetroot Soup

Beetroot has lot of benefits and many of us does not like it's taste. Even kids does not prefer to eat beetroot.
It is rich in nitrates, folate, manganese and also rich in antioxidants. Because of its health benefits we can include in their diet by making these soups in liquid form. We can mix beet root with other vegetables and spices to enhance its taste.
Here I prepared beetroot soup. I used pressure cook method so that it's prepared in no time and nutrients can be preserved by this method.

Ingredients

• One and half cup chopped Beetroot

• One small carrot

• One chopped tomato

• One onion

• 2 Garlic cloves

• Small inch Ginger

• One Bay leaf

• Pepper powder

• Salt as per taste

• Tea spoon coriander powder

• Half teaspoon oregano

• Two cups water

• Little butter

Take little butter in vessel. Add 2 garlic cloves and small inch Ginger.

Add one Bay leaf. Bay leaf imparts nice flavour to the soup.

Next add one chopped onion and saute for few seconds.

Next add about one and half cup chopped beetroot, one small carrot chopped and one chopped tomato.

Add about two cups of water and pressure cook.

After pressure is released. Strain the water from veggies. Remove the bay leaf. This water can be further used for soup preparation.

Transfer the cooked vegetables to blender and blend to paste.

Take the blended paste in a vessel. Add the strained water and cook the soup. (Water from previously pressure cooked veggies)

Add pepper powder and salt as per taste.

Add teaspoon coriander powder and half teaspoon oregano and give a mix.
You can add cornflour paste as thickener by dissolving cornflour in little water. This is optional.if you prefer thicker consistency we can use cornflour.

Beetroot soup is ready to serve.
