VitaMix Recipes: VitaMix Soup- Overview to 57 VitaMix Soup Recipes

 

Did you know that you could make soup in your high powered VitaMix blender?  The VitaMix website has 57 recipes for VitaMix soups.  I summarized the ingredients of the soups for you.  This will give you an idea of what’s in each soup, and whether you might want to investigate further.  If so, follow the link to the VitaMix site, and click the box for “soup”.  The list of all 57 VitaMix soups will come up, in alphabetical order.  I have used the exact recipe names here.  Click on the appropriate recipe link for the recipe and specific instructions for preparation. 

 

I have grouped and sorted these recipes into categories: 

17 Vegetable Soups

20 Cream Soups

10 Cold Soups

10 Soups with Meat

 

My summaries can serve as a shopping list.  I have further sorted these VitaMix recipes for soup according to whether or not you have to do any cooking outside of your VitaMix blender, such as sautéing vegetables, or precooking meat, or if the soup can be “cooked” entirely in the VitaMix. 

 

How does this cooking work? The powerful motor of the VitaMix, which is four times faster than the average blender, can also run for five minutes or more without the slightest worry that the motor will burn up. The friction of the ultra fast blades, running for three to seven minutes, creates heat which enables you to make a large selection of steaming hot soups.

The VitaMix blender blades can also turn four times slower than the average blender. You can throw in ingredients like beans or corn, and they will not be pureed, but merely distributed throughout the soup.

Places like Costco have VitaMix distributors demonstrating these blenders. There are lots of samples: juices, smoothies, and ice cream. One of the most popular demonstrations however is the Tortilla Soup. There is a recipe in the cookbook that comes with the VitaMix, but I think most of the reps have their own versions. Our guy used “all the usual suspects” like tomatoes, carrots, celery, onion, bell pepper, and a bit of jalapeno pepper. He threw in a small chunk of cheddar, and a couple corn tortillas. Then he turned the blender down low and threw in a bit of chicken and a few tortilla chips. Finally, he turned the blender super low, and added some black beans and corn. This soup was restaurant quality!

I have included a video of VitaMixLady, who is demonstrating the VitaMix, including her version of the Tortilla Soup. I like that she tells the health benefits of all the ingredients. She has a website, which has her soup recipe.

 

I have specified chicken broth where applicable on these recipes, but you can use beef or pork stock.  For vegetarian and vegan friendly versions, you can substitute vegetable broth.  Beans typically refer to canned beans.
