the Poor Man Purple Soup

Or the complimentary colour soup....

Try it. Sounds strange, looks strange, tastes... good for purple soup!

Chop an onion in chunks, dash in a splash of olive oil in a pot, throw in the onions and simmer until translucent. Chop two large carrots into thick slices and japanese purple sweet potato into small chunks. Throw these into the pot too and sweat on medium heat for 5 - 10 minutes - stirring occasionally. Once they have softened up a bit, throw in a cup of mixed frozen veg - including corn, peas and more carrots! Sweat 'em some more.

After all those veggies have sweated enough, pour in 500ml of hot all vegetable stock and continue to cook everything on medium heat for 15 minutes. Sprinkle in some oregano and salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy the odd colours ... and remember green and purple are complimentary!
