Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Soak the mushrooms in a little warm water. Don’t throw the water away later, add it to the cooking water. Peel the potatoes and dice them. Clean the root vegetables and onion and chop them into small pieces. Heat the margarine and stir in the flour. Stir frequently, otherwise it will burn. Then add the water very slowly and while stirring CONSTANTLY (otherwise lumps will form). Now add the potatoes, vegetables, mushrooms, and spices (except the parsley) to the pot and simmer everything for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
