So who else thinks that Fall Out Boy and John Mayer’s version of “Beat It” is awesome? Yeah, me too. Of course I’m not a Michael Jackson fan, and I do not care if he’s a musical genius.

My latest cooking adventure involved beetroot. Any veggie that tastes great out of a can should be given a vegetable medal. Or something. This was beetroot soup from – what else? – “Delicious” magazine. My most favoritest magazine EVER.

It’s one of the most beautiful soups I’ve seen, a light fuschia colour with bright green chives sprinkled on top. But more importantly it was simple.

Sautee an onion, carrot and potato in butter, add a few bay leaves, a litre of vegetable stock and a cup of water and let it boil. Then add a 450 gram can of chopped beetroot. Cook some more. Then blend. Add chives and cream if you want it. Finit.
