Yes, it's a thing. Who knew right?! Last year, when we found out you could eat this stinging plant that is everywhere, Christopher and Kallie had grand plans to cook up a batch and try it out. Thanks to COVID-19 we get another spring/summer here and you know what that means....Stinging Nettle Soup opportunity! Can't miss it this year!
Christopher, Kallie and Andrew went on a little hike and collected the wild stinging nettle.
Christopher donned gloved and started to clean the nettles
Kallie stayed busy and made some chocolate chip cookies...
They cooked down a bit, had to rest, and then the next day they became soup!
Final verdict? It was good. The soup was very, very bright green - and tasted like.....not much. The kids say they would eat it again - however no one ate the leftovers except Christopher. But hey...bucket list item crossed off!
