The Beets & Yogurt Soup by Chef Vikas Khanna is great comforting winter soup especially when there is a surplus of root vegetables. The potatoes add a very nice creamy texture and thickness to this soup while the earthy flavor and a vibrant ruby red color comes from beets. Garnishing with yogurt swirls adds to the presentation of this soup.
