Ingredients
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 parsnip, peeled and diced
- ½ celery roots (celeriac), peeled and cubed
- 1 leek, sliced

Step 1
Combine carrot, parsley root, celeriac, and leek in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and stock cube. Add beet and beet leaves and cook until beet and beet greens are tender, about 25 minutes. Season with sugar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Simmer until flavors are well combined, about 5 minutes.
