Remember that the VM HEATS up the soup but it does not cook it--big difference there. Thats why you use cooked ingredients and not raw---for soup anyway. Friction and cold items cause them to freeze but if left running too long, will heat them up. Found that out the first time I tried to make ice cream.

If I can look this up, you could have looked it up.

@Kachina624. Yikes! Don’t you think you were a bit harsh to a new poster? Lighten up. It was her first post. You probably scared her away for good.

@sadiemanwelcome to the boards ! I find these forums a great place to find info, what better place than actual purchasers or possible ones that have researched items?
I have not owned a vita-mix since I purchased one in the late 90's. It lasted beyond the warranty and they made good on thier promises when I had one small glitch with the product. One thing I remember about the company was great customer service. If you cannot find satisfaction I would suggest calling the cs line. They were 'old school polite ' then and from comments I have read --still are.
As I recall the one I had did make soup and heated it when ran for about 7 minutes. I could not stand the noise for that function after the novelty wore off. I did find it a very good quality product though for all other functions.

Welcome to the boards - I never made soup. Leaving it running on high for 5 minutes is too LOUD. I use it for a kale smoothie most mornings. Enjoy

@Carmie No, it was she who came on like gangbusters accusing Vitamix and Q of misrepresenting a product. If she'd just watched the presentation, she would have noticed that the dang thing ran for a long time.
To her credit she did come back and admit she was wrong. Most just slink away, never to be heard from again. I'd welcome her back.
