Instead of oven roasted beets, you can simply use chopped beets.
You can also steam cook beets to reduce the cooking time.
I added extra ground pepper and it was perfect to balance the sweet taste of beets.
You can use water or chicken or meat stock to make soup.
If don't parsley simply skip it and add some cilantro.
You can also add some sliced carrot to the soup.
