INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 6 beets, peeled
    • 6 potatoes, peeled and diced
    • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
    • 1 parsley root with greens, peeled and diced
    • 2 celery ribs, chopped

    • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
    • Salt to taste
    • Ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon (Optional)

  • Other Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup butter
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

STEPS

1

Place beets, potatoes, carrots, parsley root (greens reserved), celery, and vinegar in a large pot; season with salt and pepper. Pour enough water to cover vegetables into the pot; bring to a boil.

2

Reduce heat to low; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes.

3

Remove beets with a slotted spoon; set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Grate beets when they are cool enough to handle.

4

Melt butter in a small saucepan, whisk in flour, and cook and stir until mixture is a light tan color, about 10 minutes.

5

Stir mixture into soup. Stir in grated beets and parsley root greens; bring to a simmer and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

6

Season soup with vegetable bouillon, salt, and pepper.
