Nettle Soup Recipe

Coconut Oil for sauteing
Onion
3-6 Cloves of Garlic Minced
3 Organic Potatoes
3 Stalks of Organic Celery
Organic Vegetable Stock or Water
Dried Nettles (amount is up to you... I use about 3 Cups)

Directions:
Saute' onion, garlic, potatoes, and celery in oil.  Add water or stock until pot is half full.  Once soup mixture is simmering, add as many nettles as you like.  I use about 3 cups.

Let simmer until potatoes are done and serve!

You can certainly add some cream and blend the mixture with an immersion blender for a creamy nettle soup.  Add some organic cheese and you have a kid loving, healthy soup!



My favorite source for nettles and other medicinal herbs is Mountain Rose Herbs.  They are high quality and WAY affordable!  Something else worth checking out is TriVita's Nopalea, which is GREAT at combating inflammation due to arthritis!
