Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

The soup was too thick for my taste. I added some water to thin it out, and it was perfect.

I found the soup to be a bit bland. I added some salt and pepper to taste, and it was much better.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but this soup was actually really good. The yogurt and chives helped to balance out the earthy flavor of the beets.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

I used golden beets instead of red beets, and it gave the soup a lovely golden hue. Still tasted amazing!
