2. In a small saucepan, stir together the remaining 2 cups or juice, the tapioca, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes, then cook over moderate heat until the mixture boils and turns translucent. Stir into the fruit mixture, cover, and chill for 2 hours or until cold. Remove the cinnamon stick.
3. To make the yogurt topping: While the soup chills, line a strainer with cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter and place over a bowl. Spoon in the yogurt, cover, and chill for 30 minutes. Discard the liquid. Transfer the yogurt to a small bowl, then stir in the sugar and vanilla. Spoon the soup into small bowls and garnish each with a swirl of topping.
