The ingredients for KM Nettle Soup are:

Spinach (or greens of choice) fresh, 2 cup
Leeks, 1 leek
*Canola Oil, 1 1tsp
Garlic, 3 cloves
*Vegetable Stock Marigold Swiss Bouillon, 2 cup
Red Organic Potatoes - sainsburys, 100 gram(s)

When using nettles - wear rubber gloves as you strip them from the stalks and wash them. Still with gloves on, give them a roll over (or two or three) with your rolling pin...or a handy wine bottle if you haven't got one. As it's the sticky up barbs that sting, once you've flattened them they're harmless. I tried one raw at this point - not very exciting to eat, but no stings either!
On another note, I added the spare leaves to a curry later in the day instead of spinach - couldn't tell the difference in the finished product.
