A very dear friend of ours has just been diagnosed with Chrohn's Disease. I wanted to do something that would let her know that I care & want to do something to make her feel better so I made a beefy beet soup for her & canned 6 jars. Beets are very high in Iron & she is on supplements 150 mg. That is quite high & adding fresh beets to the soup will give her some much needed iron & it taste yummy too. I hope that she likes it hubs loved it & wants me to make some for him too. I think the beets make it a beautiful colour too

That is so nice of you! And, yes, it is so pretty in the jar!

What a great friend you are. She will love this gesture and for sure enjoy the beefy beet soup. Hugs Lynn

What a nice thing to do for your friend. I hope she gets relief and feels better.

thank you Karen I am trying to learn as much as I can. ~hugs~

Anything you can do to show your love and support should be well received. Chrohn's is devastating, not in the beginning, but in the long-term realities.
