Ingredients
Method
- Wash, then slice the white parts of the leeks.
- Add the butter and a bit of olive oil to a medium soup pot and sweat the leeks until they become soft and translucent. Stir often to prevent scorching.
- Add the cubed potatoes, then cover the vegetables in stock. Bring to a slight simmer, then cover. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Immerse the nettle leaves in the boiling water for 15 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon. Immediately plunge into an ice water bath.
- Place soup in Vitamix, add the nettle leaves, dill, and cream. Process until smooth and velvety.
- Serve garnished with microgreens and edible flowers (optional).
Notes
Use fresh stinging nettles, and make sure to handle them with gloves until cooked.
