Honey Tips
How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.
Directions
Peel carrots and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Peel potato and cut into small cubes.
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add shallots and saute about 3 minutes until softened. Stir in carrots and potato. Add broth, honey and thyme. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Carefully ladle mixture into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Pour back into saucepan and add milk, salt and pepper to taste. Reheat, do not boil, adding more broth or milk if soup seems too thick.
Ladle into bowls, top with a spoon of plain yogurt or sour cream and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
