Purple Soup - yes, purple (and it was delicious!)

Last week I bought some purple carrots (thanks Birgit!). They aren't purple all the way through, just on the outer edges, but it's a marvelous deep purple, and contrasts great with the orange of the carrots.
Come Saturday, we still had some left, and also some zucchini. Our standard weekend plan with leftover vegetables is to make soup, so peel peel peel, chop chop chop, and off into the pot.
A little while later, I had this. A delicious rich stew, with lots of veggies and some ground beef.

But wait. That's not just any soup - it has an odd color. It took a couple of different flash settings to show you both the tasty looking soup and the purple tinge.

Put a few drops onto the spoon rest, and I noticed a distinct purple tinge.

Towards the end of the cooking time, I added some processed cheese that was a nice white color.
BAM! Purple soup. It cannot be denied.
The carrots had mostly turned plain orange, and the purple went into the soup.
 
Odd color, but still delicious.
