Stinging Nettle has a flavour similar to spinach when cooked, and is rich in vitamins A, C, D, iron, potassium, manganese, and calcium.

I would suggest getting a guide to edible plants. I have a very good one, it includes photos and drawings, and shows plants that are dangerous look-alikes.
*thumbs up*
EDIT- TO EVERYONE- please be aware to check to make sure what the herbs and plants you eat do not interact with a medical condition or medication. Common sense, but some can make things like birth control inactive, trigger reactions, or even cause more serious effects.
Be careful.

It's so easy all you do is..
Get about 1/2 a carrier bag of nettle's (don't forget to wear thick gloves)
Wash them in a colinder and saute them in some butter.
When they have gone all soft remove them from the saucepan for a bit. Just put them on a plate.
Then saute an onion in the same saucepan (chop it up quite small)
Put back the nettles in with the onion and add some chicken stock. ( I used plain gravy granuals)
Then simmer for 10 mins and add cream.
I don't think i even bothered liquidising it.
I hope that you enjoy it. You can tell when you eat it that it is packed with vitamins.
I have run out of nettles, but i will definately make it again!
