Soupe d'orties (nettle soup)

Another recipe made from something fierce. Maryline uses lots of garlic and just barely cooks the nettle leaves.

a generous bunch of nettles
olive oil
garlic
onion, diced
several potatoes
Salt, Pepper

Saute the diced onion and minced garlic in oil until they smell good. Add the water and chopped potatoes and boil until the potatoes are cooked. Reduce to simmer and add the nettles at the last minute. The french like their soups pureed
