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
In a large saucepan heat olive oil. Add onions, celery and garlic. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add broth, carrots, gingerroot and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat and simmer about 25 minutes or until carrots are very tender.
Using a hand blender or a conventional blender, process soup until smooth. Return to saucepan. Stir in lime juice, honey, peanut butter, soy sauce and milk. Rewarm soup but do not boil. Spoon into bowls and top with chopped scallions.
