Necessary ingredients:

- 3 medium potatoes
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 bell peppers
- 2 carrots
- 1 zucchini
- 1 parsley root
- 1 small celery
- 1/2 small cabbage
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper paste (optional)
- 250 g beer sausages
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt or seasoning base (Delikat, Vegeta, Mirodenia)
- 2 liters of water
- A few green parsley leaves for decoration

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by peeling and washing all the vegetables. This is an essential step as proper cleaning and cutting of the ingredients will ensure even cooking and a pleasant presentation. Cut the potatoes, carrots, zucchini, celery, and parsley root into small cubes. The tomatoes should be peeled and diced, while the onion is finely chopped. Slice the garlic thinly, and the bell peppers can be cut into strips or cubes, depending on your preference.

2. Sauté the vegetables: In a suitable pot, add the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion until it becomes golden and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. This will add a special flavor to the soup.

3. Add the garlic and vegetables: Once the onion is ready, add the garlic slices and the other prepared vegetables (carrots, potatoes, zucchini, parsley, celery). If you wish, you can also add peas, green beans, cauliflower, or broccoli for extra texture and nutrients. Sauté the vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

4. Boil the soup: Boil 2 liters of water separately in a pot. When the water starts to boil, pour it over the sautéed vegetables. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer over medium heat for 25 minutes. This is the perfect moment to enjoy the aromas that begin to unfold!

5. Add the sausages and spices: After the vegetables are cooked, taste the soup and adjust with salt or seasoning base. Add the beer sausages sliced into rounds and the hot pepper paste if you like a bit of spice. Let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes so that the flavors blend perfectly.

6. Serving: When the soup is ready, pour it into bowls and decorate with fresh green parsley leaves. This will not only add a pleasant appearance but also enhance the flavor.

Practical tips:

- Make sure all the vegetables are fresh for a better taste. You can vary the vegetables according to the season or your preferences.
- The soup can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days, and its flavor will intensify over time.
- If you want a vegetarian version, you can replace the beer sausages with smoked tofu or a mix of mushrooms.
- Add a touch of freshness to your soup by adding lemon juice when serving.
