I’ve been enjoying nettle soup for five years in a row, ever since I moved to France. It’s a wonderful alternative to leek and potato, Julia Child’s favorite. Just substitute with leeks with the tender top leaf clusters of the younger nettles.

Another application where the entire plant may be used, including the mature ones, is liquid fertilizer. Make a tea by puting the chopped plants into a large container of water. Let them “steep” for a couple of weeks, stirring occasionally, and the result will be a very stinky but useful organic growth enhancer for any garden plant. (The odor remains in and around the container — not really a big deal.)
