Answer: (C)

Beets define this soup.

The other soups listed come from different culinary traditions and rely on different main ingredients: Minestrone is an Italian vegetable and pasta soup, ginataan is a Filipino coconut-milk soup, and gumbo is a Louisiana stew thickened with roux and typically featuring seafood or meat.
