Beet & carrot soup

Serves - 4

This is a great soup to warm and increase bloodflow, great if you are feeling a bit run down and weak.

Beetroot is amazing for the blood. They also contain fibre, vitamin B9, manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Carrots are great for eye health and hormone balance. The orange colour is beta carotene which converts into vitamin A. They also contain biotin, potassium, and vitamins K1 and B6. K1 coagulates the blood and improves bone health.
