# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Every spoonful tastes like you're actually taking care of yourself, without any sacrifice of flavor or satisfaction.
  • The colors are so gorgeous that people assume it took way more effort than it actually did.
  • It comes together in under an hour, making it perfect for when you want something nourishing but don't have all day.
02 -
  • Don't add salt until the very end because the broth concentrates as it simmers, and you can always add more but you can't take it out.
  • Fresh herbs make an enormous difference here—dried herbs in the same quantities will overpower everything, so cut them in half if that's all you have.
03 -
  • Peel your beetroot under running water or over a damp paper towel—it saves your cutting board and your hands from looking like you've been in a beet crime scene.
  • Taste the broth before you use it because some brands are already quite salty, and you need to know what you're starting with.
