Wild About You Soup: A recipe


This recipe is a 5!


Wild About You Soup:


butter

1 carrot, chopped

1/2 onion, chopped

2 large cloves garlic, minced

bracken fern fiddle heads (ostrich fern are fine)

cattail shoots, cleaned and sliced

nettle leaves, wood or stinging

4-6 cups broth, chicken or veggie, homemade preferred

1 pound tortellini, cooked and drained (optional)


Saute carrot, onion, and garlic in butter until soft.


Add broth and bring to a boil. Cook 10 to 20 minutes to let flavors steep.


Add wild veggies and cook until tender, 10 to 20 minutes.


Add tortellini.


Delicious.


Note: Nettles need not be cooked first. The boiling broth will take the sting out of them almost immediately. Add any amount of wild veggies you desire.
