Nevermind that I don't have a microwave at work, so I either stick my soup in the dishwasher after it has finished its cycle (when it's still hot), or I take it up to Christian's office and put it in his microwave on the 31st floor.
Soup is just good, and it doesn't have bad-for-you-foods in it at all.
I did a recipe search on Epicurious for the most popular vegetarian soups. I got this sweet potato curry soup. So, Matt and I went to the store last night, and we bought all of the ingredients. The sweet potatoes looked icky and small, and then I saw in the fro
nt of the store that they had TONS of Japanese sweet potatoes. They looked pretty similar to the ones I usually buy, but they were a bit darker (and purplish). I was sure that when they were peeled that they would be orange.I made the veggie broth first. All was going well. Then I went to peel and cut the potatoes, and they were TOTALLY purple. I put them into the greenish vegetable broth, and it turned a gross shade of purply brown. The soup turned out okay (not the best thing I've made), but it's purple.
My first thought was - who eats purple soup? My second thought was - Jews and Russians! Borscht is purple, and I love borscht, but I think because my expectations were that the soup would be orange, I am a bit thrown off. Please enjoy the photo of the purple soup and the kitty in a bag.
