Nourishing Nettle Soup with Luscious Salmon Topping

Nourishing Nettle Soup with Luscious Salmon Topping
There's something magical about the way nettles transform from prickly leaves into a warm, comforting soup. I still remember my first taste - the earthiness mellowed by gentle cooking, creating a uniquely satisfying flavor. Paired with silky salmon and a dollop of crème fraîche, it's a simple yet elegant dish I find myself craving time and again. When you want a meal that nourishes body and soul without fuss, this soup delivers wholesome goodness in every spoonful.
Ingredients
  • 8 oz (225 g) salmon fillet, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups (950 g) fresh nettles
  • 2 cups (475 ml) vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) crème fraîche
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 (60 g) fennel bulb, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp (8 g) chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) chopped hard-boiled egg
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
Instructions

1. Wearing gloves, rinse nettles well under cold water. In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch nettles for 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender with parsley. Puree until smooth.

2. In a pot, simmer fennel in broth until tender, about 10 minutes.

3. Add broth to blender with nettle puree. Blend on low to combine. Increase speed and blend 3 minutes until very smooth.

4. Return soup to pot. Stir in heavy cream and simmer gently over low heat for 10 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.

5. In a bowl, mix sliced salmon with crème fraîche, dill, chives, egg and parsley. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

6. Serve hot soup topped generously with the cool, creamy salmon mixture.
