Cream of Nettle Soup

Emerald green deliciousness in a bowl

One of my absolute favorite springtime soups, this bowl of emerald green feeds my soul. If you cannot find fresh nettles, feel free to substitute spinach.

Instructions

Step 1.

Combine the nettles, scallions, and stock in a pot. Bring the pot to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the nettles are tender (around 3-5 minutes).

Step 2.

Add the nutmeg, salt, and pepper and let the soup sit for 10 minutes off of the heat.

Step 3.

Carefully pour the soup into a blender and blend until completely smooth. Pour the soup back into your pot. Add your cream. Bring the soup back to a warm eating friendly temperature over medium-low heat. Do not allow it to boil. Stir constantly.

Step 4.

Adjust seasoning. Serve. Enjoy.
