What did you use for the stock base? I knock this soup up every year round about now - even the kids love it ( and kids aren't known for being 'into soup' ). A bog-standard chicken stock from a cube, I think. Basically, it smelt utterly gorgeous till we put the nettles in, then went utterly 'orrible. If you fancy munching weeds/wildflowers, I do recommend ground elder and ramsons - both can be used as a pizza topping or cooked in butter, and much nicer than nettles. Could get on with Ground Elder - I found the taste insipid...couldn't quite place the flavour, but it seemed vaguely metallic. I was disappointed - I really quite relished the thought of being able to eat the damn stuff into extinction! Odd - each to their own, I suppose. I'm not fond of strong-flavoured vegetables such as cabbage, apart from garlicky/oniony ones. Oh, do like pickled cabbage, but the flavour there isn't really from the cabbage. ;-). Victoria |
