Combine all the ingredients in a large sauce pan and gently boil for 20 minutes.
Taste the soup and analyze the flavours: Too sweet? Add more wine or a dash of lemon juice. Too sour? Add more milk and honey. Too bland? Add more salt and more oil, even a tablespoon of butter, to add more depth.
To spice up the soup, you can add fresh onions or any root vegetable like potato, sweet potato, or carrot directly to the soup and purée together once tender.
