Yummy!!!

In a large pot, cover the pork belly with water and bring to a boil. Then simmer on low heat. Meanwhile, finely grate the vegetables. Grate the cucumbers separately, discarding the ends. Peel and dice the potatoes. Remove the pork belly from the pot. It will not be used in the soup. Add all the vegetables, except the parsley, to the pot. About 10 minutes later, add the diced potatoes. Bring to a boil. Then add the grated cucumbers and simmer. In a small bowl, whisk the cream and flour together. Add a ladleful of soup to the bowl and stir. Finally, finely chop the parsley and add it. Season the soup to taste, pour the cream and flour mixture into the pot, adding a little beef stock if desired. Bring to a boil and serve. If you like it a little thicker, simply add more potatoes. This soup is very healthy and tastes delicious.
