I can't even count how many times I used to walk through a field in France and get stung by nettles. I finally learned how to recognize them. None of my French friends made nettle soup, but it's quite popular here in Serbia. Above is nettle soup, served with thick yogurt and warm bread. I've ordered a side of grilled hot peppers, too....A recipe for nettle soup can be found here.

I've eaten nettles a few times and really liked the taste. Yet the last time the person preparing them didn't rinse them enough times and I had numb lips. The peppers look good too.
«Louis» had no idea nettles are edible...
The things you learn cruising the blogosphere!
;-D
Hmmm - don't think I tasted that one. Do you have burdock soup as well?
I don't think I ever ad them. Sounds good though.
have endured their hot tingly stings too many times to want to eat them! But the soup and accoutrments look loverly.
Humm cela me rappelle mon enfance, ma grand mère paternelle nous faisait souvent de la soupe aux orties, j'aimais bien cela, mais cela fait bien longtemps que j'en ai pas mange
I will put eating nettle soup on my "to do" list. Just when I think I've tried it all, I learn about something new! I stopped by because my post today is about a person in Belgrade and a person from Belgrade near Greensboro. I thought you would be interested.

Never heard of them before.
You made me hungry.
Bibi - did you know Maestro?
I've never had this but I love soups & this does look delicious.
Soup made of nettles, interesting ..
Hi, Louis. I checked out Greensboro Daily Photo, but never had heard of Maestro. I guess if I had been a customer at a barber shop, then maybe... :)
looks tasty :) good appetite!
You know what they say—if you can't beat 'em, eat 'em! Looks delish too.
thanks
A recipe of another time (in France) I never tasted any.

Nettles are full of iron and fantastic for blood!
