Rainbow Soup
Diced tomatoes, juicy red
Very soon we’ll all be fed
Chopped zucchini, leafy greens
Pour in cannellini beans
Add a dash of golden curry
Getting hungry; hurry, hurry
Boiling broth and pasta yellow
Not too spicy, pretty mellow
Add some orange carrots, too
Stir it with a spoon of blue
Scoop it from the purple pot
Let it simmer; careful, hot!
Broth is ready, mixture’s right
Tasty rainbows, every bite
Very soon we’ll all be fed
Chopped zucchini, leafy greens
Pour in cannellini beans
Add a dash of golden curry
Getting hungry; hurry, hurry
Boiling broth and pasta yellow
Not too spicy, pretty mellow
Add some orange carrots, too
Stir it with a spoon of blue
Scoop it from the purple pot
Let it simmer; careful, hot!
Broth is ready, mixture’s right
Tasty rainbows, every bite
