Beetroot Chestnut Potato Soup

Why people make this soup

Beetroot has long been prized in Chinese food therapy for its strong antioxidant properties and its association with nourishing the blood and supporting liver function. Many vegetarians reach for beetroot regularly — in juices, salads, or soups — precisely because it offers deep colour and broad nutritional value. The gentle concern Nourilo raises is this: beetroot is low in calories, so if a vegetarian relies on it alone, the body may not receive enough sustained energy. Chestnuts and potato step in as naturally sweet, starchy companions that warm the digestive system and help the body absorb the goodness in the soup.
