Purple Magic Soup

This delicious soup is packed with nourishing vegetables and hearty grains!

Carrots, leeks, and parsley stalks are the base, it is bulked up with barley and split peas, and it's finished off with crunchy savoy and purple cabbage — which turns the broth a gorgeous purple color. Garnish with fresh lemon juice and parsley for extra flavor and serve with bread.
