Nettle soup with young nettles
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. If you're watching your figure, you can make nettle soup using light chicken broth. Potatoes can be replaced with zucchini. The soup cooks faster with zucchini and tastes just as good. This way, it also becomes lower in calories. Serve the soup with sour cream. It goes perfectly with dark rye bread made from coarse flour. The soup is ready to serve.
