CREAM OF FRESH VEGETABLE SOUP (VEGAN!)
Creamy soup that's still vegan! It can be a cream of broccoli, cream of asparagus, or peas depending on the vegetable you choose. Will try this later this week, but it sounds terrific and I'm sure I'll love it. One of my favorite meals is soup with bread and our yummy hummus. From The Best of Silver Hills Delicious Vegetarian Cuisine cookbook. Update: This is our new favorite vegan broccoli soup! I'm excited to try it with the asparagus next time. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 2 teaspoons of salt. Drop in the stinging nettles, and cook 1 to 2 minutes until they soften. This will remove most of the sting. Drain in a colander, and rinse with cold water. Trim off any tough stems, then chop coarsely.
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat, and stir in the onion. Cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice, chicken broth, and chopped nettles. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Puree the soup with an immersion blender, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

CREAM OF NETTLE SOUP (VEGAN)
Don't worry - they don't sting when cooked! Nettles are very nutrient rich and of course - free! Don't gather them beside a busy road where they will have been contaminated by traffic fumes - we pick them in our garden. If you keep cutting them from springtime you get a regular supply of fresh leaves. Though we stop using them into summer as they seem to get rather insecty!

Steps:

- Stir in the nettles (no need to chop or remove stalks) until they soften.
- Stir in the flour and gradually add the soya milk and water or stock, stirring all the time.

Tips:

- You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as potatoes, carrots, or celery.
- If you want a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of vegan sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
