This vegan soup is so delicious and essential for your health. Beets are high in immune-boosting vitamin C, fiber, and manganese, which is good for your liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Garlic, ginger and onions all have an anti-blood-clotting ability, and when they are eaten together, they are a powerful mainstay against heart attacks and strokes!
