Why people make this soup

The idea behind rainbow eating is simple: different colours of vegetables and legumes bring different nutrients and different traditional benefits. Fresh green olives are a versatile seasonal ingredient — they pair beautifully with monk fruit for a throat-soothing drink, with green radish and almonds for another style of soup, and here they anchor a cheerful rainbow broth. When you put all five colours together, you get a soup that’s as nourishing to look at as it is to drink.
