You might want to add a bit more vegetables like celery or parsnips for extra depth, and consider using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for the cooking liquid.
Properly stored in an airtight container, this beetroot soup will last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Always make sure it's cooled to room temperature before refrigerating to maintain freshness.
