Easy Beetroot Soup

Beetroot has lot of benefits and many of us does not like it's taste. Even kids does not prefer to eat beetroot.
It is rich in nitrates, folate, manganese and also rich in antioxidants. Because of its health benefits we can include in their diet by making these soups in liquid form. We can mix beet root with other vegetables and spices to enhance its taste.
Here I prepared beetroot soup. I used pressure cook method so that it's prepared in no time and nutrients can be preserved by this method.
