      Title: Nettle Soup
 Categories: Soups
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      3 c  Mixed root vegetables;
           - up to 4 c
      2 ts Mixed dried herbs
      2 tb Oil
      6 c  Water
      1 c  Young nettle tips
           Salt; to taste
           Black pepper; to taste,
           - freshly milled
 
  We used to gather the young, tender nettle tops each spring to use in
  vegetable broths. If grasped very firmly they don't sting, a fact I
  discovered one day when I had lost my gardening glove. The flavor is
  not to everybody's taste, but worth a try, and after all, free.
  
  Sauté root vegetables and erbs in the oil for 4 to 5 minutes, cover
  with water, and bring to a boil. Add nettles. Simmer covered until
  roots are tender. Season and serve.
