This is a lovely soup. The sweetness of the potato lifts the other earthy flavours. Sauté some chopped onions, carrots, celery and garlic. When this has browned a little add some stock (Marigold Bouillon powder is good) and herbs such as bay leaves, thyme or anything else you like. Wash and cut some sweet potatoes into pieces. Add some chopped up kale or other dark green leaves. Add some nettles from the garden, just the youngest leaves, discard any woody stems. When all the vegetables have softened, blend the soup, check the seasoning and serve hot, sprinkled with chopped flat leaf parsley.
