Variations to this blended soup

There plenty of root veggies that pair well with beets. I have used carrots, you can use parsnips or sweet potatoes. We have made this soup with beets and cauliflower once and it was equally good. It is one of the best hiding places for a lot of veggies if you are looking to sneak in some for the fussy eaters who like beetroot.

How to get rid of beet stains from your hands

Ahh, the worst part of beets (snd the best) is the bleed of pink. There are a few effective ways you can get rid of the stain so you don’t look like a slayer. There are a few tricks I use to get the beet stain off my fingers.
Rub with a piece of potato – use potato as a scrubber as it works wonders removing the beet stain. Dip the potato in a bit of salt if the stain is stubborn.
Use lemon water- if you have a few minutes extra soak the hands in lemon water with a pinch of baking soda. Then you don’t have to do much rubbing to get the stain off.
