Today's Special Value

[ginamz]

Turned on QVC and Jan mentioned 3 ingredient soup and rewound my DVR to hear the ingredients but hit the recall button and the channel changed, darn it.  Does anyone know that the three ingredients are, one I did catch was vegetable broth...  Thank you.

[Unhooked42]

Vegetable broth, a cooked sweet potato and 2% greek yogurt

[Nightowlz]

I have not been watching so don't know what he made. What kind of soup was it? I saw him make several at midnight but I was not paying attention.

I just threw a packet of cooked fall veggies, chicken broth and a handful of grated cheese, (to make it creamy), in my vitamix for 6 minutes and wow the best soup. Everytime I pull it out I wonder why I even bother to put it away!

[gonnab]

Did he give the quantity of each ingredient?

[Deb1303]

Today on In the Kitchen With David he made creamy tomato soup and said it had tomatoes, onion and cream.  But I can't find the recipe anywhere.

[kam24]

Look at this Vitamix:

https://www.qvc.com/Vitamix-Explorian-48-oz-Variable-Speed-Blender-w-Book-%26-Accessories.product.K4...

There is a pdf of Recipes and toward the end of the pdf is a recipe for Tomato Soup.

It only has a few ingredients. Maybe this is what you saw?

Tomato Soup
Ingredients
4 TBS butter
½ large sweet onion, large chop
1 (28 oz.) can san Marzano peeled tomatoes
1 ½ cups water or low sodium chicken stock or some cream
1 tsp salt.
Directions
1.Place water, peeled tomatoes, tomatoes,bouillon cube, and salt, into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2.Select Variable 1 or the Hot Soups program (if available).
3.Start the machine, slowly increase to the highest speed, and blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds; Stop the machine.
4.Select Variable 1. Start the machine and remove the lid plug. The container and blend for 15 seconds.

[SusieQ_2]

The tomato soup recipe seems to have a few problems. The first is that under ingredients a 28 can of San Marzano peeled tomatoes is listed. Under directions it says to place the peeled tomatoes, as well as "tomatoes" in the container. What other tomatoes is this referring to? Some recipes call for a combo of canned, fresh, or roasted, but no other tomatoes are listed in the ingredients. 

Next it says to add bouillon cube yet that isn't listed under ingredients either. Also, butter and onion are listed under ingredients yet nowhere does it say in the directions what to do with them or when to add them. Are the onions sautéd in the butter and then added to the container, or are they just added in with all the other ingredients? 

I think Jan needs to do some editing on this one. 

There are lots of places online to find recipes for the Vitamix. Blending with Henry and Life is NOYOKE are just a couple but there are many.
