Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds green beans
1 pound potatoes (approximately 4 medium-sized potatoes)
1 large yellow onion
1 small celery root
1 leek
2 medium-sized carrots
5 ounces pancetta bacon (more or less to taste)
1 teaspoon oil
8 cups vegetable broth (approximately)
1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
1 tablespoon savory (chopped)
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Wash the beans, cut off the ends, and then cut them into halves or thirds depending on the size of them.
  • Peel the potatoes, carrots, and celery root. Cut everything into small cubes.
  • Peel the onion and finely chop it.
  • Wash the leek really well (it can be quite dirty) and cut it into rings.
  • Heat one teaspoon of oil in a large pot. Add the pancetta bacon and fry it for a few minutes until the fatty pieces appear cooked. Then add the onions and sauté them until the onions are translucent and the pancetta bacon is slightly brown.
  • Add the vegetables (potatoes, carrots, celery root, green beans, and leek) and sauté them for around 2 minutes as well.
  • Now add enough vegetable broth so that it just covers the contents of the pot. In our case, this is usually around 8 cups of vegetable broth - but it might be more or less in your case depending on the size of your pot and your vegetables.
  • Add the chopped parsley and savory. Give everything a stir.
  • Add the lid to the pot and bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Then turn down the heat and let the soup simmer for around 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
