Earthy and vibrant, this creamy soup gets its texture from pure\u00e9ing the softened chestnuts and vegetables together<\/strong>. This technique results in a perfectly thick spoonable delight that\u2019s teaming with a rounded assortment of nutrients perfect for athletes. In this roundup of nutrition, beets are a superstar for athletes. Compounds found in beets increase the body\u2019s ability to use oxygen and increase the time it takes to feel exhausted. Consuming chestnuts increases energy levels as they provide carbohydrates for both short and long-term energy.<\/p>\n

Both beets and chestnuts are available in many stores already peeled and cooked making this soup much easier and faster to make. If you can\u2019t find them in store, you can cook them yourself in advance and then toss them into the soup.<\/p>\n

This soup is also fun experiment with color for kids to get them involved with cooking and healthy eating. As written, the recipe is earth toned with a hint of purple. Using golden beets will result in a yellow hue, and if you really want to make this vibrantly magenta, use red beets and change the mushrooms to a white mushroom so the redness doesn\u2019t get muted with the brown tones of the shitake. You can also use a white balsamic or white wine vinegar to allow the natural bold beet color in either red or golden to really shine through.<\/p>\n
