Ingredients:
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 parsnip, peeled and diced
- 0.5 celery roots (celeriac), peeled and cubed
- 1 leek, sliced
- cold water to cover

- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions:
- In a large pot, mix together carrot, parsley root, celeriac, and leek. Pour enough water to cover the vegetables and bring it to a boil. Stir in potatoes and a stock cube. Include beet and beet leaves and cook until tender, approximately 25 minutes. Season with sugar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until flavors meld together.
