Red Roots & Cider Soup
In case you haven't heard, beets are the new black. Loaded with minerals and vitamins that help regulate metabolism, boost your immune system, and sustain energy longer, they're what you always wanted your multivitamin to be - plus, yummier. That's not to discount the other power players in this pretty soup: Carotene-rich carrots, fibrous parsnips, C-packed turnips, anti-viral shallots, and fresh ginger filled with essential oils that do all kinds of good stuff for internal organs (and this soup's rich flavor).

Ingredients:
3 beets
4 turnips
2 parsnips
3 large carrots
2 shallots
1 tbsp fresh ginger
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
8 cups water (or enough to fill your pot)

Peel and slice shallots, separating the rings, then peel and chop ginger into thin, but bite-able slices.
