Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

Place oil in a large pan. Saute onion and carrots over medium heat until tender, about 20 minutes, stirring often. Add vinegar and honey. Cook and additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer carrot mixture to a food processor. Add beets (with their juice) and puree well. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and add yogurt. Stir well. Refrigerate soup until cold. May be prepared one day ahead. Serve in individual bowls, topped with chives.
