Ingredients

• 300 grams burdock root
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium potato
• 1500 milliliters vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by thoroughly washing the burdock root under running water to remove any dirt. Peel it using a vegetable peeler, then cut it into thin julienne strips.

Step 2

Peel and slice the carrot into thin rounds. Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic and sauté them for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the julienned burdock root and carrot slices to the pot. Stir the vegetables to coat them with the oil and sauté for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Add them to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the soy sauce, ground black pepper, and sea salt. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.

Step 7

Continue to simmer the soup for about 25 minutes or until the burdock and potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish each bowl with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot with crusty bread or as a standalone dish to enjoy its earthy warmth.
