Split Pea Nettle Soup

Wild tide
boat's not swimmin
take me down
to march mallow town.



This soup is a yummy and nourishing soother. 


+One cup jasmine white rice
+two cups green split peas
+two celery stalks
+four garlic cloves
+1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
+1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
+one tablespoon dried nettle or bunch fresh nettle
+1/4 cup organic half and half 
+salt and pepper

Prep:
Make jasmine white rice; set aside.

Meanwhile, cook split peas in salted water (I use kosher salt).

When split peas are close to soft, add about 3 more cups of water. Bring to boil. Reduce to simmer. Add celery, garlic, cardamom, and nutmeg. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cooked rice, nettle, half and half, and salt and pepper to taste. Let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
