Forbidden Rice Soup
Forbidden Rice Soup is purple. It’s a comforting kind of purple, with lots of veggies peeking out of the soup, but purple-ish grey is not a color that many are accustomed to when looking into their soup bowl. So be prepared.
That being said, it may just be the most comforting, creamy, luscious of all purple soups. The warming scent of the herbs make the earthy taste of the veggies & the nutty taste of the rice all sing together nicely. Try it with some homemade bread spread thickly with good butter.
Also, this recipe makes a ton which makes it perfect for a jar to keep & a jar to give for meal trains/ take them a meal/ Bikor Cholim.
And purple food may just be the color of the season!
