Yes, you can use any type of beets you prefer, such as golden or Chioggia beets. Just be aware that the color of the soup will vary depending on the type of beets used. Red beets will give the soup a vibrant pink hue, while golden beets will result in a more muted yellow color.
If you don't have yogurt, you can use kefir, sour cream, or buttermilk as substitutes. The taste will be slightly different, so adjust seasoning as needed. For a vegan option, try using a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt, but ensure it's unsweetened.
This soup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing other flavors in the fridge. It's best enjoyed fresh, as the vegetables can become slightly softer the longer it sits.
