How to Make Hot Soup - Tomato Basil Recipe in a Vitamix Blender

Hi it's Tommy from Raw Blend One of the best things you're going to love about your Vitamix machine is you can cook a steaming hot, nutritious soup in minutes from fresh ingredients How can a Vitamix machine cook a hot soup? you might be asking. It looks like my normal blender. Well the Vitamix is much more than a blender. It actually cooks using friction heat You could imagine if I did this, 30,000 times a minute how hot my hands would get. Well the same principles working on the blades that's what's cooking out soup Quite amazing when you think about it. So, today I'm going to show you how to make a Tomato and basil soup. One of my favourite recipes. In the container here, I have 2 cups of cold water. I'm gonna put some tomatoes in. Throw the whole tomatoes in. You don't have to chop them up. In they go. I'm going to put in a little bit of carrot. Once again, we wash these we don't peel them. we're getting the good nutrition in the peel. We've got some celery, with the leaves most importantly you leave the leaves on. More nutrition in the leaves. You don't want to waste it. In it goes. Little bit of flavour goes a long way in the Vitamix Little bit of onion. Little bit of garlic with the skin Not too much, or you'll overpower the whole soup Let's add some chili here. Nice bit of flavour. Even with the stalk, in it goes Some Capsicum, I'm going to get some of this green part in. once again, the most nutritious part A lot of the good nutrition lies in these parts The stem, the seeds, the peel Parts we usually throw away I've got some cabbage. Cabbage is a fantastic cancer fighter. Great antioxidant. Throw it in and some cashews. I like to use this as an alternative to milk or cream it's going to thicken it up and give it a lovely texture looks delicious and some basil. Tomato basil soup, put some beautiful basil in there Alright, and one last thing. you don't want to forget that vegetarian stock cube. That's a Massel vegetarian stock cube. and some seasoning. Little bit of Sea salt and pepper. That's it, we're ready to go. Let's lock our lid into place. I'm gonna start on high-speed. I'm just going to pulse the machine On off, on off, see the power of that 2 Horsepower. Just going to suck down everything into the blade Away it goes. Now that's all chopped it up Took me a couple of seconds but it hasn't made it hot yet, so I'm going to get it up on high speed For about 4-5 minutes and make that nice and hot. Alright, soup should be done Now in the container here we had cold water, raw vegetables and in five minutes we've got a steaming hot soup. that was just friction heat, no heating element. Pretty amazing. imagine being able to make nutritious soup in the same time it takes to go through the local drive-through well now it's possible with your Vitamix I just showed you how Alright, what Ilike to do is make a chunky style soup I'm going to put some tomato in here. I'm going to put a little bit of basil back inside there and lock your lid on slow-speed. Just going to chop it through Doesn't get much easier than that. Now you've got a chunky style soup. Bit of something to chew on. Alright, let's serve up some of this Smells so good. You ready? Look at that, so creamy the best part is, you know what you've put in there So so good for you. Can't wait to taste this. Put a little bit of garnish on here. Little bit of capsicum. Little bit of basil. Beautiful! Alright, let's try some of this. It look's so good. Tastes delicious; Tomato basil soup. Jamie Oliver said recently if the foods got a label on it probably not very good for you There's no label on fresh fruit and vegetables.
