Nettle Soup
Nettle soup is a nutritious dish made primarily from stinging nettles, a wild green plant known for its health benefits. The leaves are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and calcium. To prepare the soup, the nettles are typically cooked with onions, garlic, and vegetable or chicken broth, creating a flavorful and vibrant green meal.
This soup is often enjoyed in spring when nettles are young and tender. It can be blended for a smooth texture or left chunky, depending on personal preference. Nettle soup is a popular choice in various cuisines, particularly in European countries where foraging for wild greens is common.
