my grandma made stinging nettle soup (borscht) when i was growing up in ukraine. however, she only used young nettles that didn’t yet sting, which is probably the cause of your discomfort. i recreated the soup using kale, spinach and lemon juice (due to lack of nettles), because the nettles should give a bit of a tangy flavor, and it was damn close to what i remember from childhood.

Just had this soup while on holidays in Ireland…Cork to be specific. Our hostess pulled the stingy nettles from her back yard. The soup was lovely. The flavor was vaguely reminiscent of a light asparagus soup.
