Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

Combine first 4 ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Cool slightly.
In a food processor or blender, puree soup. Pour back into cooking pot.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet. Sauté onion, add ham, tomatoes, honey and basil. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir into soup and serve.
