Recipe: Creamy nettle soup

May 29, 2024 Erica M. Davis 3 Comments

This stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) soup is quick, easy to make, and full of flavor. A lot of nettle soups are made with potato but I think the nettle flavor is more noticeable without, so I use cauliflower for the creamy consistency instead. The recipe is vegan, oil-free, … [Read more...]

Snowboarding, Nettles, & Jerusalem Artichoke Bouyah

April 17, 2015 Erica M. Davis 1 Comment

My friend’s husband tells tales of growing up in northern Wisconsin next to the Menominee Nation, where as a boy he played with the kids on the reservation. When they got hungry, they’d head to whichever family’s house was hosting that week’s “bouyah," a Midwestern tradition … [Read more...]
