Ingredients:
200 g horseradish
40 g butter
200 ml cooking cream
600 ml vegetable broth
10 g flour
Salt
Pepper
.
Preparation:
In a pot, heat the butter gently. Lower the heat and add the flour (briefly cook it as you would for a roux), then add the grated fresh horseradish and cook a bit more (be careful not to burn it). Pour in the previously prepared vegetable broth while continuously stirring. Cook everything together for 10 minutes. If desired, you can further blend the soup with an immersion blender or leave it with pieces of horseradish.
Season with salt and pepper as needed, and finally add the cooking cream.
When serving, you can add cubes of toasted bread to the soup and optionally garnish with milk foam.
You can make vegetable broth by boiling root vegetables in water with spices. Cook for about 45 minutes, then strain and cool.
