Potato, Tomato, Beetroot and Carrot Soup

Why people make this soup

Beetroot comes in both red and yellow varieties — the yellow form is sometimes found alongside the more common red at well-stocked produce sections. Whether red or yellow, beetroot is something of a nutritional powerhouse, and this soup has become one of Nourilo’s favourites to recommend for people looking to support their circulation and skin health in a genuinely tasty way.

The magic of this soup lies in a group of compounds the vegetables share: pectin and dietary fibre. These plant compounds are believed to act like a sponge in the digestive system, binding to heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium and helping carry them out of the body. Less toxic load, the theory goes, means clearer, healthier-looking skin. And as a bonus, it is delicious — naturally sweet and satisfying enough that even children tend to enjoy it.
