the carrots chopped and frozen. Purple, orange and yellow. They were called colored carrots, not heirloom per se. All good. Till I added them to the soup. The whole soup turned purple. The chicken turned purple. The celery turned purple. Those suckers were dyed. We ate it anyway. My brother said I must have made the soup in honor of Prince. 😄

1. You should have used DOVE instead of chicken--LOL!!!!

2. In fact, they were not dyed.

The purple ones just tend to be dyeing, like beetroot or red cabbage.

5. That's a relief. They sure do pack a lot of color.

6. Old Europe is entirely right

But a purple carrot would look outstanding in a salad, mixed with other colored vegetables.
Reading your message made me think about making a purple salad on a bed of green lettuce, surrounded by something yet a different color.
The purple salad would be a combo of purple carrots, red cabbage, and maybe purple potatoes. (My little grocery store has been stocking the purple potatoes.)
I can't figure out what other color would work both visually and nutritionally. I don't want white potatoes because I'm using purple potatoes.

3. Far be it from me to cast asparagus...

But I don't think you mean "stop."

7. That's funny!

Purple soup!

I can't even think about soup again until at least October.

8. Some call it Borscht.

Purple soup, yeah.

But heirloom carrots? No, I recommend fresh carrots, not those things from grandma's attic.
