This is pretty quick to throw together and can be eaten right away but, like a lot of soups, it's even better then next day. Also, the carrots still look like carrots until the beets have had a chance to do their thing. So if you don't want to miss an opportunity to eat purple food than I recommend making it a day ahead.
