No broth should be added, you want the taste of nettle, not chicken broth. And on the picture the soup looks way too watery, the consistency of the soup should be thicker than that. Also a little bit of chives and cicely or chervil is traditionally a part of the recipe and gives the soup that little extra something. Other than that, fantastic that you're doing a Swedish recipe on your site! And yeah, nettle soup, or nässelsoppa in Swedish, is definitely a celebration of spring. It's a very seasonal food, as all food should be. I’m Swedish and I gotta say I strongly object to the chicken broth. No broth should be added, you want the taste of nettle, not chicken broth.

I'd love to teach yoga at Wellesley College, but I hear that job's taken... I actually live in Arlington now, but grew up in Wellesley and my mom worked at the infirmary at the College, so we used to get to sleep there at night if we were sick (she worked nights, long time ago). These days I'm hanging out in Wellesley for a respite from higher population density. Thanks for such a cool blog! Hi Jen,

I came across it today after I found a patch of nettles growing along Morses Pond in Wellesley. Only after making the soup and enjoying it did I read further on your blog and discover you are a Wellesley College alum. Happy little synchronicity. Hey Jen,
