Creamy Nettle and Potato Soup
At Manka's Inverness Lodge, in Inverness, California, chef Daniel DeLong uses local wild stringing nettles to give a tangy flavor to this light, creamy soup. Because nettles are prickly, use gloves while working with them. If nettles are unavailable, substitute fresh spinach or a combination of parsley and sorrel. Plus: More Soup Recipes and Tips
