Nettle soup is a traditional dish of Italian cuisine, particularly widespread in the central-northern regions. Nettles, rich in vitamins and minerals, give this soup a unique and characteristic taste. The preparation is simple but requires some care in collecting and cleaning the nettles. This soup is ideal to enjoy during spring when the nettles are fresh and tender.
With hands protected by a pair of gloves, remove all the leaves and filaments from the nettles that adhere to the stems
Wash them, drain them well, and chop them coarsely
In a pot, heat three tablespoons of oil and sauté the finely chopped bacon and garlic
When they have taken on color, add the peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
Cook for about ten minutes, season with salt, add the nettles, mix carefully, and let them absorb the flavors
Pour in the hot broth
When it comes to a boil, add the rice and complete the cooking
Serve the hot soup immediately
