I should be sleeping. Instead--I bring you purple chicken soup!

This year I planted Purple Haze carrots in the garden again. I loved them the first time I planted them three years ago, but I couldn't get myself to order just the carrot seeds the second year, when the shipping was more than the seeds. This past year I bought other stuff too, so yay, more purple carrots

Hee! I *love* purple carrots! They give such a great color to everything...

[dualbunny]

Yes, they're so fun! And I think they lean toward the sweeter side, at least compared to the other orange varieties I've chosen. Though that could still be my imagination. ;D

It's not the purple soup, it's the contrast with the yellowy-green oil at the edges.

Aw, who'm I kidding, I'd eat that right up.

[dualbunny]

Heeee, yeah, somethin' about the purple makes the fat look less yellow and more green. But I promise after the first bite, you'd be more fascinated than put off. ;D

That's cool! It's interesting how it turned the soup purple then reverted back to an orangeish color.

[dualbunny]

Yeah, you can just barely tell where the purple was in the carrots once they've been cooked in soup. If you cook them with a drier method, like sauteing them, they stay very purple, though they tend to stain any other light vegetables around them. ;D

I almost wish I wasn't a vegetarian, just to eat PURPLE CHICKEN.

[dualbunny]

LOL. It's true! Eating it entertains me way more than it should! *g*

Hmmm homemade soup yummy... I love growing colourful vegetables. Rainbow chard is cool.

[dualbunny]

They're such a blast to have in the garden! I've almost grabbed the rainbow chard a couple of times, but I keep defaulting to the red, heh. But the rainbow pictures always look so pretty!
