Its real name is scarlet carrot soup. I call it red velvet because it is so like the cake if the cake were soup.

I can't tell you how much fun this is. I posted about it because I hope other people will try it, too. It's wonderful to take out all the stuff from the china cabinet and actually use it, and if you're among your best friends, it's totally delightful. We have friends who ask when we're going to have another one (hint hint).
