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

Place all ingredients, except garnish, in a blender. Process until pureed and smooth. If soup is too thick, thin with more broth. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Spoon into bowls, top with chopped scallions and tomatoes – sour cream topping is optional.
