Start by steaming the root vegetables first, so that they are better incorporated into the soup later on.
Get a large saucepan and pour in your spice mix. Let everything simmer over low heat until a pleasant scent begins to emerge.
Chop the assortment of green leafy vegetables then add them to the pan, mix them with the spices.
Pour in a cup of your vegetable broth and let everything simmer quietly for 15 to 20 minutes, having taken care to put the lid on the pan.
Once the vegetables begin to turn translucent, you add what you have left of the broth as well as the other vegetables. Now cook for ten minutes.
Now you need to pour the last part of the ingredients into the pan, namely the root vegetables that you had steamed separately. Don’t forget, however, to add a little water to the mixture right after. The amount of water you put in depends on the degree of consistency you want to achieve. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes and you’re done!
