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

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Add carrots and water. Bring to a boil again, reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 25 minutes. Drain carrots; reserve cooking liquid.
Saute onions and squash in melted butter over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 15 minutes. Add carrots and remaining ingredients. Cook an additional 5 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a food processor and puree. If too thick, add a little of the carrot cooking liquid until mixture is the consistency of mashed potatoes.
Serves 6.
