Nettle soup is delicious, but if you add wild garlic, it's even better. In fact, this soup, also known as "ditch soup," takes on a whole new flavor.
To gather nettles, choose locations far from roadsides and agricultural fields due to pesticides. Gather young shoots about 30 cm long, the latest leaves at the top. Essential tools for collecting and washing nettles: gloves…
Wash the wild garlic leaves. Set aside. Remove the stems from the nettles and wash them thoroughly with a little baking soda.
Peel and chop the shallot. Melt the butter in a large pot. Add the shallots and sauté them over low heat until they have softened. Add the nettle leaves and wild garlic and let cook for about 5 minutes to wilt them. Remove from heat.
To finish, peel and cut the potatoes into pieces. Bring the broth to a boil and cook the potatoes with a little salt for about 20 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, add the wild garlic and nettles to the potatoes. Blend everything together to obtain a creamy soup and add fresh cream. If the consistency is too thick, add a little water or milk. Check the seasoning and enjoy.
