How does this work?

It's simple.

With just one click, all these ingredients will be put into a basket on mySupermarket.co.uk.

You can select the products you need, compare prices and choose the retailer you wish to buy them from. Or you can leave them in your basket and come back later to buy items from other recipes.

One thing is for sure though, you are guaranteed to find the best value.

Method

1. Place the beetroot, cucumber, chilli and 1.5 litres of cold water in a liquidizer and blend until smooth - you will probably have to do this in two batches. Pass through a fine strainer into a large jug, then stir in the vinegar and season generously. Chill until ready to serve.

2. Tear one slice of bread into each bowl then scatter over the red onion, tomatoes and garlic. Pout over the chilled soup, sprinkle over the parsley and drizzle each serving with a splash of oil.
