Chilled Beetroot Soup with Mango, Avocado and Ginger

Okay, I swear this will be the last recipe using beets.  It's just that I have had these three beets that are lasting forever.  But one thing you will see from these 4 beet recipes is that by just using a different technique each time you can come up with entirely different dishes using the same ingredients.  Being a chef is like being a musician or an artist.  You first learn the basics, then you work with or try to work with the best, say a mentor.  And you copy the best. And you practice and practice for years until one day you have created your very own music, your very own art or your very own food.   And when this happens you can call yourself a chef, an artist or a musician.

Dr. Ferenczi in Csoma hospital in Hungary has been using raw beets to cure cancer since 1950's.  If you have cancer and are trying to beat it through diet you should be juicing everyday and juicing beets is highly recommended.

Avocados are one of the great cancer fighting foods, rich in a multiplicity of nutrients, including many potent anti-oxidents and phytochemicals as well as vitamins, minerals, fiber and monounsaturated healthy fats.
Mangos contain Beta-carotene, Vitamin C, Calcium and several other minerals and vitamins.
