Honey Tips
Honey Flavors and Colors
Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.
Directions
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.
