Rainbow Soup

You could call this "I don't want to get sick soup".  It seems that everyone at work is terribly sick. I have bleach wipes in my cabinet, alcohol gel on my desk in a big pump and in a little one in my purse.  I am taking Airborne and drinking orange juice every day.  I'm trying to stay away from it.  After being so sick this summer, I don't want to go through the flu again. 

 

I saw a photo of a soup similar to this on Pinerest and it just looked healthy! So I stopped by Whole Foods on the way home and picked up a few vegetables.  

 

 

I sliced up:

• one large carrot
• one small jicama
• one fresno chili
• one bunch of rainbow chard stems (pink, yellow and red)
• one small bok choy
• pea shoots
• purple micro greens

 

Took a handful of each and added it to a bowl.

 

 

While I was slicing and dicing I added a bunch of fresh herbs, garlic and salt and pepper to a pot of chicken broth and let it simmer. I poured ladles of hot chicken stock over the vegetables.  And you have rainbow soup!

It just tastes like "health".  Fresh, crunchy veggies in an almost medicinal herby broth. I stored the rest in the fridge, so tomorrow the vegetables will be softer and the flavors will be more infused.
