Rainbow Soup

 December 2010. Toby 25 months.

I got this idea from a colour book Toby had about food. 
Everyone is always saying to 'eat your colours' so I figured, why not have them all in one place??

Rainbow Soup

Red: Peppers
Orange: Carrots, peppers
Yellow: Corn
Green: Peas
Blue: Potatoes
Purple: Cabbage
Black: Ground pepper
White: Mushrooms, garlic

All stewed in homemade chicken broth.

Blue potatoes are hard to come by, and the reason we had them was because we grew them. I'm not actually sure if grocery stores carry them at all. I also don't know what else to used for 'blue'.

Next time I would not use purple cabbage, or I would cook it separately and add it later because it dyes the water purple, which made the other colours muted.

But it was sure delicious! And healthy!



Happy Eating!!
