Beetroot and carrot soup
Background
This simple beetroot and carrot soup is a quick and easy broth that is healthy, vegan and immune-boosting all year round. I added cavolo nero to it, but any greens can be used - runner beans, broad beans, green beans, peas, spinach, kale etc. Serve it with wholesome crusty bread or brown rice.
