Directions:

Drain the soaked beans, then put in a kettle with 8 cups of water and the bacon.

Add the green beans, celery root cubes, carrots, leeks, onion, parsley root (or parsley), potatoes, marjoram, thyme, and bay leaves.
Bring back to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for another hour.
While the soup is cooking, melt the butter over low heat in a saucepan.

When ready to serve, stir in the parsley, remove the bay leaves, adjust the seasoning, then ladle into soup bowls and serve immediately.
