Guess the name of this Green Soup?

My first introduction to Stinging Nettles began approx. 15 years ago when my dear friend Marie was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. I did a lot of research into natural help for her liver, and decided she needed nettles – immediately.

We found a great grove of nettles in a local park close to the walking path, and near the stream. We harvested a huge shopping bag of nettles and I actually shipped them to her by Fed Ex overnight.   I realize now how much value I put on those nettles or I would have never gone to that expense. 

Now I am a little older, and still the stinging nettle is more than a spring tonic. It can be a real remedy for many with kidney and liver problems. It is a God-send for the do-it-yourselfers like me, who really appreciates God’s creation, and the freedom to make natural remedies for myself.

Here you go.  We actually celebrated with 2 friends, and we ate every single drop.  It tasted mildly like a spinach creamed soup.  Absolutely yummy.

Nettle Soup

  • Wash and chop nettles (don’t include stems)
  • Saute onion (saute for 3 mins),
  • add chopped nettles, saute for another 3 minutes,
  • add vegetable stock and 1 grated potato.  I guess it was approx. 4 cups worth – will definitely measure it next time.
  • Cook for 20 minutes.
  • Blend ingredients in a blender.
  • Add cashew milk (or other nut milk or creamer) – 1 cup?
  • Add s & p to taste.

Have fun and let me know how yours turned out!
