Instructions
Rinse the nettles thoroughly in a colander.
Since we only use the nettle leaves, remove the nettle stems using gloves or cut them off with a scissor.
In a large soup pot, heat up olive oil and butter.
Add onion, potatoes, and cook for a few minutes.
Pour in chicken stock, wild garlic leaves, and thyme, and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the nettle leaves and boil for 2 minutes.
Remove the thyme sprigs from the soup and blend the remaining ingredients so it becomes a smooth soup.
Add heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste.
