Heat the oil, add the chopped veg and the diced spud, cook for 10 mins. Add the stock, cook another 15 mins. Add the leaves, simmer for 1 min. Blend, season, and stir in the butter and cream.
I wouldn’t use onions myself; horrible slithery, slimy things. I wouldn’t use the cream and butter either.
Nettles only grow near people – not in the wild; isn’t that interesting?
"We All Die in the End", (now with 5 star reviews on Goodreads and Amazon) is available in both paperback and ebook formats on Amazon. The book is an unusual collection of interlinked stories set in a small town on the Co Down coast. Some are grim, some deal with abusive relationships but there's a lot of dark humour here, and joy too. 16 of the 19 tales have been previously published in literary magazines, or have been broadcast, or both.
I have just published a collection of poetry, haikus, and photographs, also available from Amazon in paperback and ebook format. I can be contacted here at WordPress or at the links below:

I’ve heard the word before but never knew what they were. Thank you.
Sounds like a great soup.. fan of nettle in tea and as well as people I always found strange that the dock leave to take away the sting grew so close too..
