I think this may be my new favorite soup. Seriously, nothing beets it. Not a likely choice. But, much like Mario Batali, it wins you over.  (So funny looking, you have to love it)

I had never heard of, much less seen a golden beet before.  But I came across them in the market the other day, and I had to buy them.  They are slightly prehistoric looking, and nice and dirty.  You know they just came out of the ground.

The golden beets turn everything a gorgeous gold color, and the ginger makes the whole house smell incredible.

This is proof that sometimes the more simple the recipe, the better the result.

And just look at these things.  They’re beautiful.

Tips:

If you can’t find golden beets, try substituting carrots.  They would work well in this soup.

Serve with a great crusty bread or crackers.
