In another large bowl, combine butter, honey, and sugar and beat for two minutes.

Add the eggs and lightly beat until just combined. Mix in berries and vanilla -- do not overmix.

Gradually beat in the flour mixture in thirds.

Dilute baking soda in ¼ cup hot (not boiling) water, then beat into batter.

Stir in, by hand, the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 325 for about 50 minutes. (test for doneness being careful not to overbake as it may dry out the bread)
