  • Its one of those rare soups that tastes better the next day
02 -
  • Beets will stain everything, including your hands, so consider wearing gloves or accepting pink fingers as part of the experience
  • Adding fresh herbs at the end preserves their bright flavor, while cooked-in herbs can taste dull
  • The soup continues to develop flavor as it sits, making it excellent for meal prep
03 -
  • Cut vegetables into similar sizes so they cook evenly
  • If using dried herbs, add them earlier during the simmering stage
  • The soup tastes even better after resting in the fridge overnight
