This nettle soup is a small, fine starter soup. The stinging nettle, lat. Urtica dioica, is rich in iron and chlorophyll and therefore has a particularly blood-forming effect. Internally, it is used for mucus in the chest and lungs, skin rashes and inflammation of the urinary tract.

1-2 medium onions, diced
1–2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons spelt flour
