Scrape the skin off the burdock root using the back of a knife, then cut slits into it. Thinly slice the burdock root into shavings while rotating it, and soak in water for 5 minutes. Drain well.

Cut the bacon into 1cm wide strips.

Heat butter in a pot over medium heat, add bacon, and sauté briefly. Add burdock root and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.

Add the seasoning ingredients (consomme, salt, pepper, and water) and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes until the burdock root softens.
