There’s nothing more comforting on a cold and rainy day than a steaming bowl of hot soup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I love soup, my repertoire of recipes has been the same for years so this winter I am challenging myself to make some more interesting concoctions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month I made this delicious Spiced Butternut Squash Soup<\/a>\u00a0which went down a treat with the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, after receiving some lovely fresh beetroot from a friend, I decided to try making it into a soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"beetroot<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have to admit I wasn’t  too confident that this soup would go down well with my fussy eater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lets face it, beetroot isn’t exactly known for being the most kid-friendly of vegetables but the addition of the carrot helps to sweeten it a little, perfect for little palates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My fussy eater was so intrigued by the colour that she forgot to ask what was in it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately she wasn’t too keen on the feta, which I expected as it can be quite salty and tangy for small taste buds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I removed the feta and instead gave her an extra dollop of creme fraiche which she loved stirring in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
