What is Nettle soup with bulgur?
Nettle soup with bulgur is a homestyle soup made by cooking nettle leaves with bulgur. Found in Turkish cooking, it may also include onion, tomato paste or herbs, depending on the household. Cooking softens the leaves and brings out their earthy, green flavour.
Serve it hot: the bulgur turns tender and gives the broth a pleasantly hearty texture. In Turkey it is often eaten as a simple lunch or supper, with bread or a fresh salad alongside; elsewhere, it works well as a light main or a warming starter. It is plant-based, filling and provides fibre. Use a modest amount of oil for a lighter bowl, and add lemon to brighten the flavour.
