Vegetable Soup
- Put the vegetables in a soup pot: celery root, parsley root, celery sticks, onion, and carrot.
- Put bay leaves, allspice and black pepper in a small cloth bag. Close the bag tightly and place in the pot.
- Add water and salt; Cover, boil, and lower the heat to gentle simmering. Cook for 50 minutes.
- take out the bag with the spices; Strain the vegetables with a strainer placed over a bowl to absorb the soup. Mash the vegetables with a soup ladle or a schnitzel hammer, to squeeze out as much flavorful liquid as possible. Return the liquids that have accumulated in the bowl under the strainer to the soup pot. or transfer to a storage container.
Patties
- Put the drained vegetables in a mixing bowl. Add the other ingredients: almond butter, chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and spices, and mix well until you get a soft mixture that is easy to work with. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a teaspoon or two of potato flour or cornstarch if the vegetable is too soft to shape meatballs.
- Wet your hands and form patties (about 6-8 units). Roll them in breadcrumbs or cornflakes.
- Turn on the air fryer, and adjust to a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius, 392 Fahrenheit, for twenty minutes. Place the patties in the frying basket and spray the meatballs with olive oil on both sides. After about ten minutes, open the air fryer, spray again with olive oil on both sides, and return for another 10 minutes until the meatballs are golden. If necessary, turn thethem halfway until they are evenly golden on both sides.
For Serving
- Serve the patties with yogurt dressing: put the yogurt and the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If too thick, add water gradually until you get the desired consistency.
Notes
Serve the remaining soup with matzoball or soup almonds; you can use it as a base for making stews and soups.
If you intend to serve the soup later - transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer.
