Soup with beans and beets
Description
The soup is easy and quick to prepare. Cook a hearty and delicious vegetarian soup with beans and beets. If desired, you can use meat broth, adding the vegetables one by one. I cooked this soup without meat; it turned out quite filling and nutritious thanks to the beans. The beets and sautéed vegetables give the soup an attractive color. Serve the soup hot.
