I recommend using a Blendtec blender (or a Vita-Mix) which can make a hot soup from whole food ingredients in just 90 seconds. You can most likely use whatever blender you have on hand, but you might need to chop your ingredients first before adding them to the pitcher. A high-end blender will make a perfectly smooth soup, while a lower end machine might make the soup slightly chunky if you don’t have a high-speed setting.

Recipe

– 4 Campari tomatoes (or 2 plum or 1 large tomato)
– 1 whole carrot
– 4 stalks of celery
– 1 clove of garlic
– 5 sprigs of fresh dill
– Dash of salt and pepper
– Dash of dried basil (optional)
– 1 and 1/2 cup warm or hot water

Blend on high until smooth. If you have a Blendtec blender, hit the “Soup” button. Recipe makes about 3 cups of soup.

This fresh soup goes great with warm, whole grain bread. Pour it over brown rice for a filling, healthy meal. Drink it straight from a mug for a healthy, low calorie snack.

I recommend that you make the following soups in either a Blendtec or Vita-Mix blender. You’ll want to be sure that your blender will be powerful enough to liquefy the ingredients. For other blenders, you might need to chop and dice the ingredients first to ensure you’ll have a good soup consistency.

Blender Soup Recipes

Zucchini-Soup

– 1 whole zucchini (or substitute with yellow summer squash)
– 1-2 whole plum tomatoes or 2-3 small Campari tomatoes
– 1-2 stalks of celery
– 1 sliver of red onion (optional, to taste)
– 1/2 – 1 clove garlic, crushed (optional)
– Spices: A dash of dill, some cilantro (fresh or dried). Add a dash of sea salt and pepper to taste.
– 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups hot water.



Tomato-Carrot Soup

– 1 whole carrot
– 1-2 whole plum tomatoes or 2-3 small Campari tomatoes
– 1-2 stalks of celery
– 1 sliver of red onion (optional, to taste)
– 1/2 – 1 clove garlic, crushed (optional)
– Spices: Have fun with this one. Try different variations of Oregano, Basil, Dill, Italian seasoning or even taco seasoning. Add a dash of sea salt and pepper to taste.
– 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups hot water.

Directions

Add ingredients to your blender in order listed and blend on high for about 90 seconds or until blended to a smooth consistency. (If you have a Blendtec blender, hit the “Soups” button.) This is basically going to be a vegetable smoothie, but not as thick. Use room-temperature water to make a “raw” soup, or hot water to make a hot soup. I like to use room-temp water and pour it over one cup or so of hot brown rice. It makes a wonderful, filling lunch or dinner and the heat from the rice brings the soup to a perfect temperature!

Heating

High speed blenders such as my Blendtec Total Blender with a 1500 watt motor can make hot soup by heating with friction. You can either make your soup with hot water, or heat to desired temperature in a sauce pan or microwave.

Make It Chunky

If you want a chunkier soup, simply dice up an additional tomato, celery, red pepper or whatever vegetables you have lying around. After the soup mixture is at the desired temperature and consistency, add the diced veggies and hit the “Pulse” button on your blender a few times to mix it through.

Nutrition Information

This soup has all of the vitamins, minerals and active enzymes from fresh, whole foods. It is nutritionally superior to any canned and processed soup you’d buy at the supermarket.
