Honey Tips
Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar
Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

In a large pot heat oil and butter. Add all vegetables and saute for 10 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a food processor. Pulse on and off until mixture is smooth. Add to water in pot and stir until combined. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat and mix in remaining ingredients. Simmer without boiling for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often.
