Replacing The Soil In Old Elevated Garden Beds

I just moved into a new house that had some existing and neglected elevated garden beds, that all looked similar to the one pictured. Grass, some weeds, etc. I removed as much of the overgrowth as I could, but I am wondering if I need to completely remove the soil as well. I have a new bag of raised bed soil. Can I just add that to the top, or do I need to completely replace? Thanks!

You could just work it in, along with some compost or manure.
