Ingredients:
- 1 liter of water
- 2 Knorr chicken-flavored cubes
- ½ kohlrabi
- 2 carrots
- 1 potato
- 1 onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 3 tablespoons of rice
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
- Fresh parsley (to taste)
- Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Preparing this soup is simple, and each step will bring you closer to a tasty and comforting meal.

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
To have a pleasant cooking experience, make sure all ingredients are prepared before you start. Wash and peel the vegetables well. Finely chop the carrots, kohlrabi, potato, onion, and garlic. A useful technique is to use a sharp knife to achieve even cuts, which will help the ingredients cook uniformly.

Step 2: Boiling the vegetables
In a large pot, add 1 liter of water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the chopped vegetables (carrots, kohlrabi, potato, onion, and garlic) and let them boil for about 10 minutes. This step is essential for developing the flavors of the soup.

Step 3: Adding flavors
When the vegetables are almost cooked, add the two Knorr chicken-flavored cubes and the 3 tablespoons of rice. These ingredients will not only enhance the soup's flavor but will also add texture and substance. Let the soup boil over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the rice becomes soft.

Step 4: Finalizing the soup
When the rice is cooked, add a tablespoon of tomato paste to provide a rich and colorful flavor to the soup. Finally, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley to taste. If you prefer stronger flavors, you can add a little more greenery for a fresh note. Allow the soup to come to a final boil to combine the flavors.

Step 5: Serving
This soup can be served hot, but if you want to turn it into a true indulgence, add a tablespoon of sour cream on top before serving. The sour cream will add creaminess and balance the flavors, making the soup even more delicious.

Practical tips:
- It is important not to boil the soup for too long, as the vegetables can become too soft. Check them after 10-15 minutes.
- You can also add other vegetables of your choice, such as celery or zucchini, to diversify the soup.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can omit the Knorr cubes and use vegetable broth instead.
- This soup keeps well in the refrigerator, so you can make a larger batch and serve it on subsequent days.

Nutritional benefits:
False soup is an excellent source of vegetables, providing essential vitamins and minerals. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, and kohlrabi is a good source of fiber. The rice adds complex carbohydrates, making the soup a filling and healthy option.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use other spices instead of Knorr cubes?
Of course! You can add spices like turmeric, black pepper, or herbs like basil or oregano to customize the soup's flavor.

2. What is the best way to store leftover soup?
Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can gently reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave.

3. What other recipes pair well with this soup?
A fresh green salad or a cheese and spinach tart are excellent accompaniments for this soup. Additionally, a slice of toasted bread or polenta can make the meal even heartier.
