Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

In a large soup pot cook bacon until crisp. Add butter and onions. Saute over low heat about 10 minutes. Stir in broth and potatoes. Continue to cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Mix in half-and-half, honey, corn and pepper. Cook for another 7 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the bell pepper and scallions. Cook an additional 5 minutes.
