GG, this is a very simple, subtly seasoned soup; however, there is nothing subtle about the color, it SHOUTS a deep, vibrant crimson! The recipe was submitted on the fitness website where I am the recipe editor, by a lovely young woman from the Netherlands, who just happened to be a finalist in last year's, "Holland's Got Talent". (Not that that has anything to do with her soup, just an interesting tidbit). When I first read the recipe, I was stumped by the term "swede" - the only "swede" I was familiar with surely wasn't something I'd throw into a pot of soup. In this case, a swede is what we in the U.S. call a rutabaga! :)

Although Christina suggested garnishing her soup with diced cucumber, which is what I included in the recipe as written below, I served ours with a dollop of sour cream, seasoned with just a bit of lemon juice and dill weed.
