Nettle Soup
Description
Don't worry - they don't sting when cooked!<br> Nettles are very nutrient rich and of course - free!<br> Don't gather them beside a busy road where traffic fumes will have contaminated them - we pick them in our garden.<br> If you keep cutting them from springtime you get a regular supply of fresh leaves.<br> Though we stop using them into summer, as they seem to get rather insecty!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of vegan margarine or oil
- 2 tablespoons of white flour
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- Freshly picked and washed young nettles
- (several good handfuls - picked with gloves and caution!)
- 2 cups soya milk
- 1 cup water or stock
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Fry the onion and garlic in the oil or margarine for a few minutes then stir in the nettles (no need to chop or remove stalks) until they soften.
- Stir in the flour and gradually add the soya milk and water or stock, stirring all the time.
- Add seasonings and liquidise. Delicious...
