How to cook delicious cabbage soup from nettles?
Nettle soup is an original Russian recipe. Once upon a time, our ancestors, experiencing severe harsh winters, by spring, as a rule, seriously felt a shortage of food.
That's why the first spring greens were eagerly awaited, because it was possible to cook edible, tasty, and, importantly, healthy and vitamin-rich dishes from nettles, dandelion leaves. And so it will last until the summer, until later edible crops appear in the beds.
Why nettles? The plant contains many vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, C, K), as well as calcium, copper and iron. Let's clarify that we are talking, first of all, about the dioecious nettle. The one that grows tall and with dark leaves.
We strongly recommend against picking nettles in the yards and parks of the metropolis. In this case, the harm from eating it will significantly exceed the benefits. Go to the village, cottage or forest for nettles. Yes, of course, nettles burn when harvested. But, first of all, it's not as scary as it was in childhood. And secondly, you can wear gloves.
To make cabbage soup from nettles, we will need (for 2-3 servings):
- Meat broth (1 liter).
- Potatoes 2 pieces.
- Half a small carrot.
- A small onion.
- A bunch of young nettles.
- Salt, pepper, bay leaf to taste.
- Sour cream to serve.
Fill the nettle with cold water. We peel the vegetables. Potatoes are cut into cubes, carrots are cut into circles or grated on a coarse grater, onions are finely chopped.
We put the broth on the fire, bring it to a boil. Add the vegetables to the boiling broth: potatoes, carrots, onions. Cook for a few minutes.
We take out the nettles, rinse them well in running water so that there is no sand or small insects. Chop it like cabbage for cabbage soup.
When the vegetables in the broth are cooked until they are half cooked, put the nettles in a saucepan. Add salt, pepper, bay leaf or any other spices that you usually put in the soup.
The nettle is boiled until soft in about five minutes. The rest of the vegetables should also be ready by this time. Try it - and invite your family to the table!
Well, and a few more words about another useful weed, snyti. Perhaps everyone saw her thickets. But not everyone knew that it was a dream. And by the way, it's also a very healthy and delicious herb. Its leaves are rich in iron, boron, and manganese. They can boost immunity and help with inflammation, liver and kidney diseases.
Unlike nettles, it can also be used raw - in salads, for example. Or you can add it to soup along with nettles. Since the plant is much more tender than nettles, it cooks for just a couple of minutes, so you need to put it in a saucepan at the very end of cooking.
