Stinging nettles are chock full of nutrients (including the ever-popular omega-3s) and used as an detoxifying agent in many alternative cures. More importantly for our purposes, they're delicious. I was reminded of this fact by this ode to nettles (and spring). Make sure to use gloves (or plastic bags over your hands like I do) when handling them if you decide to make Stinging Nettles Soup.
