NotesTips on my cold beet soup:
Save time and buy grated beetroot (if available).
Instead of soy yogurt any plain plant yogurt, sour cream or kefir will do, such as cashew or almond yogurt or kefir. Coconut yogurt might have too strong taste and be too heavy when used alone. Instead you might try it in combination with other yogurts.
If you want to save some more time, use apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice.
Feel free to use regular Himalayan salt instead of black salt if you’re not after the egg-like taste.
You can go an extra mile and prepare the beetroot from scratch – boil whole beetroot until tender or cut into smaller cubes and bake in the oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 20 minutes (until tender).
