Yes, you can easily make this soup vegetarian by omitting the chicken. The beets, carrots, and other vegetables provide plenty of flavor. 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.
Yes, this soup freezes quite well. Cool it completely, then transfer to freezer-safe containers, leaving some space for expansion. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently on the stove, adding a little water or broth if it's too thick.
