Beetroot & Basil Soup

I think I am slightly in love with this beetroot and basil soup, it honestly tastes as good as it looks.  The sweetness of the basil compliments the earthiness of the beetroot perfectly.  They are kinda like Chandler and Monica getting together in Friends, you never really thought about them being together before but when they do get together you just know they were meant to be..    If you’ve never tried roasted beetroot before or not sure if you like it, this is the recipe that is going to make you a convert!

Give this recipe a go and I hope to change your mind.  Its gluten free, dairy free and syn free so what more could you want?
