Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams burdock root
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium onion
- 2 celery sticks
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 liter low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
Begin by preparing the burdock root. Thoroughly scrub under running water to remove any dirt and peel the outer layer with a vegetable peeler.
Thinly slice the burdock root into matchstick-sized pieces.
Peel and dice the carrot into small, even cubes.
Chop the onion finely, and slice the celery sticks conditionally.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the celery, carrot, and burdock root to the pot, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the fresh thyme, bay leaf, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the burdock root and carrots are tender.
Remove the bay leaf, taste the soup, and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.
