Honey Is Magic
In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.
Directions
In a large soup pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and carrot and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add butternut squash and cook another 5 minutes. Add broth, water, honey and ginger. Stir well. Reduce heat slightly. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until squash is just tender.
Puree soup, in batches, in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return to pot. Stir in half & half. Let simmer 5 to 10 minutes longer over medium heat, do not boil. Serve with a garnish of chopped rosemary.
