Directions
-
Peel and chop the kohlrabi, slice the carrot and parsnip, peel and dice the potatoes and celery root, chop the mushrooms, mince the garlic, and chop the onion.
-
In a large pot, combine the water, chopped kohlrabi, sliced carrot, sliced parsnip, diced potatoes, diced celery root, chopped mushrooms, chopped onion, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of flour.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
-
While the soup simmers, place a dry skillet over medium heat and toast 2 tablespoons of flour until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, stirring constantly.
-
In a small bowl, whisk the browned flour with 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
-
Stir the flour slurry into the simmering soup and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the soup thickens slightly.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the dried marjoram and 1 teaspoon of lard (or vegan alternative) just before serving.
-
Season with salt to taste and serve hot.
