Here is how you make Cheap nettle soup:

Pick your nettles (don't forget to wear gloves), try to use only the very tips (top four leaves) and never pick from plants at the side of roads or where chemicals are sprayed.Wash the nettles to remove any unwanted extras.Place in a saucepan with milk and stock and heat until warm, heating the nettles destroys the sting.Pour contents of pan into blender and add half a small onion and a clove (segment) of garlic.Blitz the hell out of it in the blender then return to the pan and simmer (do not boil).Add a dash of soy sauce if you like, other wise serve as is or pass through a sieve to remove the leaf pulp.This is quite a versatile recipe, you can add chopped potatoes or other root vegetables to make it a little more filling.Just experiment with whatever left overs you have in the house.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user POOKAKIFE.
