Nettle Soup Recipe
Here is the last recipe after my visit to the woods last Sunday, this Nettle Soup really deserves your full attention, I loved it. As you must have noticed, I added bacon in my soup, it is mainly because I had friends who passed by and who stayed for dinner; this remains optional. For my Nettle Soup for fun, I didn’t want to mix it, but once again it’s mainly to have more contrast on the photo, afterwards, I like unmixed soups better. With my three four articles on nettles, I think I’ll move on, even in the spring this Nettle Soup was welcome. I’m going to think about other ideas with nettles, soon it will be wild asparagus, I don’t yet know if we can find any around Le Bourget, but I will find out.
