I bought some beets last week for the first time and had no idea what to do with them. This was great! Of course, I had to do it a little differently (control freak? :)) as usual. I used 2 shallots and 2 cloves garlic instead of onion. And water instead of broth (which I never have on-hand). And at the end, I sprinkled diced pecorino romano cheese on top to serve. YUM! And, as always with soups, it was even better the next day. I will probably leave out the parsley next time - just a personal taste preference. First time I'd tried it.

Delicious soup! I had to improvise a bit as my wife is allergic to onions and we didn't have any potatoes on hand. I replaced the onions with about a tablespoon of minced ginger and I replaced the potatoes with an equal amount of zucchini. The ginger blended really well with the other flavors and the zucchini added a nice juiciness. I'll definitely make this again.
