Witches' Brew - Happy Halloween!

Yummy In My Belly Beet Soup

• 4 carrots
• 1/2 yellow onion
• 1 small yam
• 5 small beets
• 2 liters of filtered water
• pinch of cayenne
• sea salt to taste
• bay leaf
• 1 & 1/2 Vegetable bouillon cube (I like McCormick - no MSG, artificial colouring and they use sea salt)
• oh...and don't forget the Magic!

Boil all ingredients then let them simmer until you can put a fork through the carrots (not too soft). Blend in food processor and put back in the pot on low heat. Grate the beets blend and add to soup...and eat!!!!

Ps. Take out the bay leaves before blending.
