Notes about this recipe

    It's a bit strange to comment on this recipe when I made it without the title ingredient--nettles--but it was so good I really did want to say so. I chose this as I wanted to make arugula (rocket) soup yesterday and this was the only recipe that came up when I searched my bookshelf. I used a pile of rocket I had instead of the rocket and nettles; I also didn't have pancetta, but I can imagine it would make it even more delicious. I didn't blend it quite enough so it was a little fibrous, but it was amazingly tasty. Fresh and green and yet, I don't know how, amazingly creamy despite containing no dairy. (I also used chicken stock as I didn't have vegetable stock, and tossed in some fresh peas I had. Today the leftovers were as good if not better when I reheated it with a little cooked pasta tossed in. Don't skip the cheese, it really adds something, as I noticed on tasting it before and after. This is a recipe I will come back to.
