BEETROOT & POMEGRANATE SOUP (LOW FAT)
I saw this in a vegetarian cooking magazine and the photo looked so stunning I had to add it. It will be a hard sell to get my husband to try anything with beets but I love them so I will give them a shot the next time I am cooking for myself. You could probably use pomegranate juice to save the actual juicing process but I am not sure how much juice you get from a pomegranate to give an equivalent measure.

This is from 'Persian Food from the non-Persian Bride' by Reyna Simnegar. It's like Persian Borscht! The original recipe includes meatballs which I am leaving out.
