Do you fancy something fun and exciting but still warm and comforting? Then look no further than our delicious Purple Soup recipe!

This modern take on an old classic incorporates ingredients not typically found in traditional soups. We have blended, among other things, purple vegetables, spices and herbs to create a uniquely colourful and flavourful soup that is sure to tantalise the taste buds!

Have you ever heard of purple cauliflower? This incredible vegetable adds a beautiful hue to the soup and, when cooked, gives it a silky smooth texture that is further enriched by the nutty flavour provided by the tahini and crunchy almonds. The earthy, sweet flavour of carrots combined with the zesty zing of lemon is sure to delight, and the ginger and black pepper spices add an unexpected kick of flavour.

Is it possible for soup to be light and refreshing? The answer is yes! Our Purple Soup keeps things light yet still flavorful. The light, warm broth bathes all of the wonderful ingredients, turning simple vegetable pieces into a colourful palette of flavours and textures.

Although highly original, this Purple Soup recipe draws a lot of inspiration from global traditional soup recipes. From the warm spiciness of Indian Masala Soup, to the creamy texture of American Corn and Potato Soup, Purple Soup will be sure to evoke moments of joy when served.
