Vegan Green Bean Soup - a hearty & quick meal

Vegan green bean soup with homemade, bold vegetable broth.  This indescribably tasty green bean stew gets its unique flavor thanks to the aromatic vegetable broth, which we make in no time with fresh vegetables such as carrots, celery root (celeriac) and leeks.  Serve with plum cake or pancakes.

Notes

*I know in the states for example it is difficult to find celery root. If you have problems finding it, you can use celery stalks. Use 1 stalk. The taste of the soup may differ than with celery root.
