Cream of Nettle Soup




Stinging nettles have a horrible reputation. It is warranted and the name says it all. Stinging. They will definitely sting you and you will not like it. The way I avoided it was by using scissors. I cut the stalk and then used the scissors like tongs and placed them in the bowl. It was a painless experience. 

After the nettles have been boiled, they lose their stinging hairs and become nutritious greens. They are especially rich in Calcium and Vitamin A.

Here is the recipe I used:

I used original flavor coconut milk and I wouldn't recommend it. The coconut flavor is too sweet for this type of soup. Also, don't do what I did and add too much water. Follow the recipe.
