Purple Soup

Just a quick post about the hazards of using purple maroon carrots.

These are purple maroon carrots.

They are very good, sweeter and crunchier than regular carrots. They have a beautiful red exterior and a deep orange inside. They pop up once and a while in grocery stores.

Now, if you eat them raw or simply sauté them, then that's fine. However, if you decide to use them in a soup or stew this is what happens.


You end up with this purple monstrosity! This was a coconut shrimp soup, and mind you it did taste good. The colour however was unappetizing. I had to dim the lights to be able to eat it.

I you don't mind purple soup, then by all means use these carrots because they are quite flavourful. Or else, just stick to the regular stuff.
