Nettles sting if touched, but they can also hurt an excellent soup.
Here's how to go about making this natural and free soup, with which you will enjoy.
We find the nettles in slightly humid and cool places , embankments, undergrowth, or at the edge of ditches.
If you take a few precautions when picking them so as not to sting your hands, here are the perfect plants to make a delicious soup , with a little taste of sorrel. I tried, I loved it!
- 200 grams of nettles (5 or 6 handfuls of leaves)
- 1 onion
- 3 or 4 potatoes to soften the acid taste
- 2 tablespoons of fresh cream
- 1 tablespoon of oil
1. I wash my nettle leaves well, adding a little white vinegar.
2. I brown the oil in a casserole, then the minced onion.
3. I add the potatoes cut into pieces and the nettle leaves (not the stems).
4. I cover with water, I salt, I pepper, I bring to a boil, then I leave to cook gently for about 1 hour.
5. I go to the blender and I add the cream :I serve and I taste!
But if you know another recipe, your comments are welcome!
