This soup was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less lemon juice. Overall, it was a good soup, but I would make some changes if I made it again.

This soup was a disappointment. The roasted beets were bitter and the soup was too thin. I would not recommend this recipe.

This soup was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices or herbs.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used golden beets instead of red beets and it turned out beautifully. The soup was a bit too thick for my liking, so I added a little more water. I will definitely be making this again.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this soup. I'm not usually a fan of beets, but the sweetness of the roasted beets was perfectly balanced by the tanginess of the yogurt and the freshness of the chives. I will definitely be making this

This chilled beet soup was a refreshing and flavorful starter to our summer dinner party. The vibrant color of the beets was eye-catching, and the soup had a smooth and creamy texture. The chives added a nice touch of freshness and brightness. Overal
