Beetroot & sweet potato soup

For a bright, pink, fun soup there are not many to beat this! Beetroots are great sources of fibre and beta carotene, and are traditionally thought to be beneficial for the liver. 

Cooking the beetroot and other vegetables not only brings out the wonderful flavours, but it also helps to reduce the risk of food poisoning if your immune system is challenged.
