Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium roots burdock root
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium onion
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Begin by cleaning the burdock roots thoroughly under running water. Peel the outer skin using a vegetable peeler and slice them into thin matchstick pieces.
Peel and slice the carrot into thin matchstick pieces as well. Finely chop the onion and celery stalks. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the sliced burdock and carrot to the pot. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Once the vegetables are cooked through, remove the pot from heat. Stir in fresh parsley.
Serve the burdock soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
