Let’s dive into the benefits of each star ingredient:

Beetroot: Packed with nitrates, beetroot enhances blood flow and lowers blood pressure, keeping your heart happy. Its earthy richness adds depth and color to the soup.
Carrot: Bursting with beta-carotene, carrots strengthen your immune system and vision, while their natural sweetness balances the beetroot’s earthiness.
Tomato: These antioxidant powerhouses are rich in lycopene, protecting your cells from damage and adding a touch of acidity to the mix.

Tomato, Beetroot and Carrot soup – A vibrant and bright soup with a rich creamy texture and a hint of spice from ginger and freshly ground black pepper.

I have skipped adding any oil or butter to this recipe, however, if you wish you can add butter as per your taste. The taste was awesome. Adding fresh basil leaves gives a nice aroma and taste to the soup.
