Honey Tips
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
Preheat oven to 450°. Arrange tomatoes, pepper, onion and garlic in a large rimmed pan, such as a broiler pan or jellyroll pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast about 1 hour. Turn the peppers and onions occasionally so that they brown evenly. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Transfer vegetables with any accumulated juices to a blender or food processor. Add honey and process to puree. Add remaining ingredients except goat cheese. Process until smooth, adding more broth or water if the soup is too thick. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 3 hours.
To serve, spoon soup into bowls and top with one tablespoon of crumbled goat cheese.
