Clam and Nettle Soup

If you are like me, you will probably regard stinging nettles as somewhat of a pain, or perhaps I should say that I used to. I don’t any more, not since I tried making soup from them – now I cannot get enough. This really is a wonderful soup – that is, if you can bring yourself to try it. Nettles are at their best during July and the early part of August. Use only the young leaves.
