This soup is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge and this soup was the perfect way to use them up.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, but the soup still turned out great. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and added a bit of honey to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
