Beet Soup

Before I even post this, I apologize for the lack of amounts. This is one of those recipes that have never been written down. We all just learned to make it, standing by Nana's side.

For all of you who are saying "beets...ew!" don't knock it until you try it!

As far as peeling the beets, so many people have their own preferred methods. I peel them while raw with a potato peeler. It just works for me.
Also, there are different methods for the bacon. Some people like to fry and crumble their bacon before adding to the soup, I chop mine up small and add raw.
