Chop the onions and potatoes into small pieces. Put them in a
saucepan with the oil, and fry them until they're golden brown and soft.
Take the pan off the heat for this next bit. Crumble the stock cube into the pan.
Add the oats and stir well. Add the nettles and stir again. Pour in the
water, making sure there's enough to cover the nettles. You can put the pan back
on the heat now. Bring the mixture to the boil, and then simmer it for about
20 minutes. Take the pan off the heat, then use the hand blender to
liquidise the soup until it's smooth. If you like you can decorate the soup
with a swirl of cream.
