Omi's Beet Soup
Ingredients
  • 6 beets, peeled
  • 6 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 1 parsley root with greens, peeled and diced, greens finely chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon (such as Better Than Bouillon®)
Instructions
1
Combine the beets, potatoes, carrots, parsley root, celery, and vinegar in a large cooking vessel; add salt and pepper to taste. Add sufficient water to cover the vegetables completely, then place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, approximately 45 minutes.
2
Carefully remove the beets from the pot using a slotted spoon and set them aside to cool slightly, around 10 minutes. Once the beets have cooled enough to handle, grate them into a pulp.
3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat; whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a light tan color, roughly 10 minutes. Gradually stir this mixture into the soup, followed by the grated beets and parsley root greens; bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook until heated through, approximately 5 minutes. Season the soup with vegetable bouillon, salt, and pepper to taste
