Today Jill of Real Food Forager is sharing a recipe for roasted beet soup out of her cookbook, Beyond Broth (you can see it here). What a timely contribution, as winter has set in and the holidays are over, warm soup with nourishing bone broth and veggies sounds so good on the menu! Did you know that beets are especially beneficial for detoxifying the liver? That is especially for after the holidays of rich food, and possibly more sugar and alcohol consumption than usual ;)
