Nettle Soup

• 1 large onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 potatoes

Peel and chop the onion, garlic and potatoes and fry them for 3 or 4 minutes in a large saucepan in a little olive oil. Trim away the stems from the nettle tops using gloves and scissors, wash well and add the tops to the pan. Make up stock cube with 1 litre (1¾ pints) of boiling water (or better still use homemade stock). Boil fairly rapidly for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked. Liqui
