Hot Beet Soup

 I was pleasantly surprised by this hot beet soup I made the other day.  The broth gives it extra flavour.

6-8 small beets peeled and chopped

2 c water

1 can of beef or chicken broth

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

3 tbs olive oil

Blend 6-8 peeled and chopped raw beets in blender with 2 c water until it is a pulpy juice. Then in a saute pan heat 3 tbs olive oil with 2 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add beet juice and 2 cups beef or chicken stock.  Bring to a boil simmer covered 25-30 mins.
