Vitamix Winter Soups: Delicious, Convenient and Cozy!
2019 Jan 11th
Vitamix Blenders, created by the Barnard family back in 1938, has simply become the top-quality name in all the blender world. William Grover Barnard knew whole foods were a key to health. The Barnards even brought the US their first “infomercial” back in 1949, declaring the importance of a health food-based lifestyle via The Vitamix. And look what a treat we have here, the original commercial.
By utilizing a Vitamix, one can grind grain, chop, knead dough, and make: Ice cream, hot soup, hummus, nut butters, salsas, and you get the point…Everything you can think of!
With winter still here for a few more months, soup will always satisfy on a cold day. Let’s explain how a Vitamix Blender can heat up to make a hot soup. Simply by friction. Vitamix has such a powerful 2.2 horsepower motor that at 36,000 revolutions per minute, any and all ingredients at top power gradually increase in heat to the point of boiling! So, with that knowledge, let’s blend some soups to steamy perfection in our Vitamix!
The Top of The Line Vitamix Blender is The Professional Series 750 Heritage Collection G-Series Blender. At under 18”, this beast can contain 64 ounces of the finest, quickest, and healthiest hot soup in under 10 minutes!
Here’s our video all about the Vitamix 750 Pro:
The classic of all soups: Vegetable. Use any vegetable you wish. If you decide to use some Russets for this one, cook the potatoes to almost done another way before adding to this, or any soup. Potatoes in raw form aren’t good, or good for you. The Vitamix will take care of cooking the tators, just best to start the process elsewhere. Fine dicing of softer varieties of potatoes can be blended raw with the 1st ingredients.

Serve with some sour cream, cilantro, and some more cheese on top. Yum!
