   Chop the vegetables

   Cut the kohlrabi into approximately 1 cm cubes. Cut the carrot into thin half-moons and finely chop the onion. Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold water.

   Briefly sauté the vegetables

   Melt the butter over medium heat in a pot with a capacity of at least 3 litres. Add the onion and carrot and sauté for 4 minutes, until the onion softens and begins to turn golden. Add the kohlrabi and sauté for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

   Add the flour and rice

   Dust the vegetables with the flour and stir for 1 minute, until the flour combines with the butter and no lumps remain. Slowly pour in the water, stirring constantly. Add the rinsed rice and 4 g of salt.

   Cook the soup until tender

   Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat so that it simmers gently, at approximately 95 °C. Cook uncovered for 16 minutes, stirring occasionally. The rice should be tender and the kohlrabi should be easy to pierce with a fork.
