FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY๐ Nettle soup ๐
Hello Fruits and veggie friends! ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅ
I love to eat soups and as lots of stinging nettles (Urtica)grow in the garden, I thought I should make a stinging nettle soup.
A true all-rounder from nature is the stinging nettle, but it also keeps what its name promises and the contact with the fine stinging hair can be extremely unpleasant.
The stinging nettle can be used as a dyeing herb and for fiber production, but also in the garden it finds its use. Stinging nettle Fertilizer for all plants, however, the stinging nettle is also highly valued as "spring vegetables".
Especially the young shoots have a high content of flavonoids, minerals such as magnesium, calcium and silicon, vitamins A and C, iron and a high protein content. The taste is similar to spinach, but more aromatic.
The nettle, a real nutrient bomb!
First you go to the garden to pick the stinging nettles, it's best to put on gloves, then the leaves are carefully searched to remove any small bugs, spiders or ants.
Lovage should not be forgotten, it gives the soup a spicy taste
I think that's enough stinging nettles
And now for the recipe:
Ingredients for 3 servings
- 100 g of nettles, preferably the young shoots
- 3 leaves of lovage (Levisticum officinale)
- 150 g onion
- 3 tablespoons thistle oil
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- salt
- pepper
Preparation
Peel the onion and garlic and cut into small cubes.
Put the thistle oil in a saucepan and sautรฉ the onion and garlic until golden brown.
Now add the stinging nettles and the lovage, pour in the vegetable broth and leave it with the lid closed, cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Fill the nettle soup into a blender and finely puree, season with salt and pepper.
