Nettle Soup

4 servings

30 minutes

Nettle soup is a true embodiment of Russian rural cuisine, filled with simplicity and natural benefits. It is believed that this soup originated in ancient times when people used nature's gifts for food. Its delicate, slightly herbal taste pairs excellently with the softness of potatoes and the airy texture of eggs. Nettle, scalded with boiling water beforehand, loses its sting but retains its rich vitamin content, making the dish not only tasty but also incredibly healthy. It is served with a spoonful of sour cream that adds a slight tang and creamy consistency to the soup. A great choice for a spring lunch when one craves freshness and naturalness in food.
