The story behind this recipe
I couldn't help but make a cream soup out of this wonderful little plant that is so beneficial to the body, especially since its season is quite short (I don't even think about blanching it, putting it in the freezer, etc. No way!!).
Every food is given to us at the right time depending on the body's needs at that time of year. It must be consumed fresh, right then!
Well, let's get to work!
For about 5-6 servings of soup, we need:
200 g nettles, washed well!!
1 medium potato
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
Salt and pepper to taste
Boil the potato and onion separately in salted water. Both should be diced.
While they are boiling, sauté the garlic together with the nettles, a little oil, and salt, then add about 100 ml of water. Simmer over low heat for about 5-6 minutes.

Enjoy your meal 💚!
