Put a spring in your step soup

After doing a good job at removing the weeds in your garden, reward your self with a simple onion and potato soup upgraded with spring nettles. Spring nettles are very tender. Nip about 5 inches off, and good luck with being stung, as it is a great tonic for the nervous system.
