Nettle Soup
It is not recommended to collect nettles within city limits, especially near roads; it is best to use greens from a country house. As an alternative, you can take spinach or other greens, but the taste of the dish will change. It is recommended to serve the soup with sour cream. The ingredient calculation is given for a four-liter pot.

Instructions
Step 1 of 8
Cut the meat into small pieces.
Step 2 of 8
Cover with cold water and add a little salt. Cook until done (chicken fillet was cooked for 30 minutes, pork or beef should be cooked longer, about 1 hour).
Step 3 of 8
Finely chop the onion.
Step 4 of 8
To prevent the nettles from stinging, it is acceptable to blanch them with boiling water. I did not do this, but simply washed the greens and finely chopped them wearing rubber gloves.
Step 5 of 8
Peel the potatoes. Cut them into sticks or cubes.
Step 6 of 8
Place the potatoes in the boiling broth. Cook for 5 minutes.
Step 7 of 8
Add the onion (it is acceptable to sauté the onion beforehand).
Step 8 of 8
Add the nettles. Cook until the potatoes are done (5–7 minutes). Add salt and pepper if necessary. Once the potatoes are cooked, a beaten egg can be stirred into the boiling broth, mixing thoroughly. A boiled egg can also be added to the bowl when serving.
