WILD GARLIC & NETTLE SOUP
Ingredients:
- 1 large bunch of nettles
- 1 large bunch of Wild garlic
- 2 medium potatoes, diced

- 1 stick celery, sliced into small pieces
- 2 cups (1 pint) stock

Method:
- Wash the nettles & wild garlic in cold water and drain. Pat dry with a clean towel.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium temperature and add the onions, nettles, celery and potato. Stir to coat mixture with butter and ’sweat’ them in the saucepan for about 5 minutes.
- Now add the Wild garlic - just one minute before the rest of the ingredients are done. The nettles should be just wilted.
