Silky, smooth, and deeeelicious.
I decided to try the soup making capabilities of my new Vitamix blender. To say I'm amazed is an understatement.
The ingredients are olive oil, carrots, ginger, onion, broth, salt, and pepper. The recipe calls for parsnip; I didn't have one, so I used sweet potato.
Put the ingredients in the blender in the order listed in the recipe.
Crank that puppy up and let it rip,
and in a few minutes, you have piping hot, creamy, delicious soup.
The soup was so hot I couldn't eat it right away. I took its temperature, it was 181*
Next time, I'll make some crutons to top it off.
Enjoy!

And that's that!
Look what arrived this morning. I'm in blender heaven
The first thing I'm going to make is red chile enchilada sauce.
That's the main reason I've wanted a Vitamix. I'm tired of straining the sauce; now it can go right from the blender into the pot.
OH!!! Trust me, I'll be sharing what I'm making with this, for sure.
And that's that!
