<\/p>\n
3 T. butter<\/p>\n
3 T. olive oil<\/p>\n
1 large onion chopped<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00bd C. uncooked rice (wild rice is great but any rice will do)<\/p>\n
Several large handfuls stinging nettle tops<\/p>\n
3-4 cloves chopped garlic<\/p>\n
8 C. chicken broth<\/p>\n
1 tsp. kosher salt, or to taste<\/p>\n
Mixed vegetables, or corn or whatever veggie you like that day<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00bd tsp. freshly ground black pepper, or to taste<\/p>\n
Potatoes and\/or leeks can also be added<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Carefully pick nettles \u00e2\u20ac\u201c gloves are recommended. Take only the top 4-6 inches of new unblemished spring plants that are less than 18 inches tall. Remove the leaves. You may need to rinse and pat them dry. Start cooking your rice. In a separate large soup pan melt the butter, add the onion and garlic and simmer until translucent. Add the chicken broth and onion and garlic mixture and nettles leaves in the soup pan and bring to a full boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes. At this point we use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. Add the vegetables, rice and salt and pepper (and any other herbs you like) and simmer a few more minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
