In this series we're going to show y'all how we eat from our gardens and the woods. From planting seeds to harvesting to cooking, we'll take you along for the whole journey. This week we're foraging stinging nettle and using it to make nettle cheese soup!

Wake up babe, new Ethan Lennox companion music just dropped.
He's been uploading a bunch of new stuff to soundcloud lately if you want to hear more! soundcloud.com/lennoxec
Ethan's "Cotyledon" is stunning.
Right?? He recorded that one months ago, but we haven’t felt like we had footage epic enough to use it in a video so we just sat on it 😂
I look forward to these videos every week! You guys inspire me so much, and you have such a comforting and warm vibe
So glad you’re enjoying them! 😊
For picking without gloves, you can also try folding the leaves down from the top to buffer between your fingers and the rest of the plant since the top sides don't have trichomes. The soup looks delicious! I like to use it in place of spinach for making saag paneer.
thinking of you guys during Jordan's recovery! ❤So glad the procedure went well
Nettles are my favorite foraged green! I get that craveability aspect - like that first hit of chlorophyll in Springtime that just sings! I think the first time I had them was at a restaurant in SF (very Chez Panisse - esque) in a pasta with grilled trumpet mushrooms- the dish has stuck with me for many many years. They are hard to find where I live!!
I live in India, and we have access to some of the freshest greens and veggies. Foraging isn't very big in india, but your videos inspire me to start looking for foraging guides in my extremely urban City! All my best wishes to you for sharing with us this cozy, patient and abundant part of your life :)
I haven't seen any nettle in by backyard yet, but I've got my eyes open. Thanks for the inspiration!
Good luck finding some!
Omg you guys that looks amazing 😋 and delicious. My husband and I are also in Western Pennsylvania and we are foragers. 🤗🤗 Thank you for sharing your spring 🌱 soup
I love to see other people forage and cook and eat nettles, but have to say I'm glad not to have any! Also glad that we don't have snow in Tasmanian winter, so many crops are still standing in the garden by spring. Kales, chard, broccoli, cabbage, the magnificent leek, parsnips, carrots, swedes (rutabaga), Brussels sprouts etc.
I feel your pain; I tried to pinch a new raspberry shoot growing out of the ground without gloves; it didn't go well 😅 thanks for the videos!
If you have a plant named sorrel (Rumex acetosa) in your area, the leaves instantly cure nettel stings if you mush them up and spread them over the injury
Edit: they are also edible and quite delicious. Very sour. Over here we eat them to fish
We’ll have to give that a try next time!
@@HomegrownHandgathered have you ever tried nettel seeds? They're also quite good, roasted in a pan and mixed into a glass of honey. Nutty and earthy, good on bread or pancakes
Great video as always! The balance of music and cooking sounds is so soothing. Thanks for bringing us in for your spring supper!
One wise man told me a great technique for gathering or weeding stinging nettles. He used his bare hands to weed out his garden and never used gloves. Be sure to try it. In his words - The leaves don't sting you from the bottom the part that stings is the top part of the leaves. :D I have weeded stinging nettles for a while now and I know for a fact that you can do this. Have fun not being in overcoming your fears of the infamous stinging nettle. :D
P.S. Excuse me for the bad grammar.
I love y’all so much! I love how you two communicate
That looks amazing,adding cheese is so creative! And the crisp sound of that bread! 🫶
Guys, you really inspired me to go out and get me some nettles. Keep up the good work, I absolutely love watching your videos. You even gave me the idea to grow my own mushrooms. I'm sure that other people get ideas from you aswell. What a lovely gift to give to the world 😊 Have a lovely week 🌱
That’s so awesome to hear! Hope you enjoy them and your mushrooms turn out well 🙂
Looks delicious! I'm so excited for spring and foraging! This year I will eat my nettles and my weeds. Two days ago it was 15 degrees C and sunny, yesterday it started snowing and haven't stopped😬🙃. But soon😍.
Nettles are one of my favorite edible weeds! I know a couple farmers that let me come into their gardens to help weed, and I take all the unwanted nettles, pineapple weed, dandelions, and other such "weeds." One gardeners weeds is another persons soup!
Living in Los Angeles which is essentially a coastal desert, there aren't many opportunities to forage or hunt. Zero in fact in my area. I think that's why I really enjoy your video's. It's a totally different lifestyle.
I seriously love your guys channel!!
This is also a fun date idea! In putting it my list :)
What a wonderful video. Best of luck remembering gloves next time. I know I've had my share of forgetting 😅
I am getting started in foraging this year here in the uk. Being careful but Nettles are one i know for sure i can identify 😁
I made a version of this soup today, it's lovely! I added some cleavers and omitted the cream. Definitely will make it again!
That is a seriously well loved dutch oven
See all throughout my life I’ve been told where the stinging nettles are, and why not to touch them. Now I learn I can eat them, and all of a sudden……….. where are all the stinging nettles??!!!
Stinging nettle tea is definitely one you should try and it’s not just delicious but it’s excellent for your circulation
Weedkiller (aka the bane of most plants), pest/insecticides, invasive monoculture taking over.
Much love and success in that surgery my bro! You are going to be fine, may that's God plan for you. 🎉
I just love watching you guys ❤
Looks delicious 😊 ym ❤ Id rathet add the cheese aftet blending 😮 just an idea to prevent blender from getting glued with the cheese 🌸🙊😘
Have you ever tried poke weed greens? They taste like spinach vary good fried with butter and a little splash of vinegar.
I have a ton of nettles growing wild in my backyard. I’ve been wanting to harvest it to cook with it and have been nervous. Thanks for the video! I’m getting on it!!!
😋 YUM!!!💚💚💚
Thanks❤❤❤❤
Congrats on living the dream!
You probably are deficient in iron and other minerals. Nature has its way of producing everything we need, when we need it, so foraging and eating seasonally is a great way to replenish the nutrients that we lack over winter.
Iron rich taste
In the south when we brushed against stinging nettle as kids,we pissed on our legs to take out the sting. 😂
Hi guys...how r u?
I think a good crouton would be good in your soup
Apart from blending the soup, this really ressembles a minestrone without the beans :)
Does blanching it remove the sting?
Yup!
Iron. I think you're craving iron after a long winter.
