Beetroot soup recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a very healthy, delicious and absolutely comforting soup recipe with beets and almonds.
Beetroot soup recipe with almonds for extra texture, taste and nutrition. I have been making beetroot soup since many years, usually whenever I make beets soup we used to feel the raw flavor and taste of beets overpowering, so this time I thought of tweaking the recipe and added few more ingredients. The beetroot soup turned out to be brilliant, very very flavorful and so tasty, the taste of beets was so mild and good in this soup, not overpowering at all. I added some whole almonds and a dash of cumin powder to this soup and we really loved the way soup turned out. The addition of cumin powder adds an earthy flavor and makes a delicious Indian style beetroot soup.
This beetroot soup recipe is very simple to make and takes only 20 minutes to prepare. You can serve beetroot soup garnished with slivered almonds or plain too.
