Tips for Nettle, Potato, and Cream Soup with Herbal Healing Properties

A velvety soup should coat a spoon; if it seems too thick, loosen it with a little extra broth.
Blend carefully in batches if using a countertop blender, leaving room for steam to escape.
Wear gloves when handling fresh nettles, and use only leaves that are fresh and undamaged.

Drink pairing

A crisp, unoaked white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc
Its fresh acidity balances the cream while complementing the soup’s earthy herbs and potatoes.
