Truthfully, beets have always scared me a little.

They don’t really look too appetizing straight from the ground all dirty and misshapen. People also have a fondness for pickling them- not a favorite of mine.

Are they really worth dyeing my entire white kitchen red?

I have come to find out that, yes, beets are most certainly worth it. 

You can boil them, roast them or even shave them raw onto a salad. My mother-in-law makes an amazing beet salad with goat cheese!

Since Halloween is just days away, I thought it would be the perfect excuse to dye my hands red and make a beautiful, easy beet soup.

If you don’t have a Halloween party to attend, I suggest wearing gloves.

W absolutely loved it!

I was a bit nervous to let W try to eat the soup by himself, with a white t-shirt on no less, but I guess that’s what bleach is for!

To make this dish, you simply throw all the ingredients in the dutch oven or pot and blend it up.
