  2. Shelley, this soup was perfect for using all of our beets we got from a neighbor last week. It had a unique flavor and color that the kids weren't too excited about because it looked as red as blood, but after tasting it, they all said it was really rather good...even my picky 1 year old ate it! Thanks for the recipe.
