Vegetable Soup

This is a classic soup which blends the flavors of celery root, potatoes, carrots and parsley. It takes a little time to chop all the vegetables but it is definitely worth your time. It is also a fairly simple recipe.

Peel the dark skin of the celery root and cut it into approximately 1/2 inch cubes as shown below.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into approximately 1/2 inch cubes, set aside.

Cut the carrots into approximately 3/8 inch cubes.

Chop the parsley and set aside.

Pour the chicken broth and the water into a soup pan, add the salt, olive oil and butter.

Bring the broth to a boil at high heat.

Add the rice, celery root and carrot cubes, cook at medium heat for 10 minutes.

Add the potatoes, bring the soup to a boil, cook at medium heat for 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer at low heat for 30 minutes.

Add fresh, chopped parsley for garnish.
