Thanks to River Cottage for the inspiration for this super tasty, nourishing soup that is easily made with a few store cupboard essentials and a big carrier bag full of nettles from the garden. Use gloves to pick the nettles and rinse in a large colander before use to remove any debris/insects etc. Adding a potato to the soup gives it body and the stock adds flavour. You could make a perfectly delicious soup with just these three ingredients but if you have a carrot and onion to hand so much the better.
