Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh nettles, washed and chopped
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in the chopped nettles and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, allowing the nettles to wilt and soften.
4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
5. Serve the soup hot, garnished with a light drizzle of olive oil and a few fresh nettle leaves, if available.
