Just purchased my blendtec a month ago and I am soooo Loving this blender just making this recipe @ the moment Looking forward to more amazing recipes and I agree it would awesome to see some that can be made in the blender with the soup feature.☺
Excellent recipe. Easy to prepare and delicious. I added white sharp cheddar and chives for garnish. Also made garlic and cheddars toast on the side.
I have made this recipe a few years ago and it delicious. Although my recipe I added a carrot. What I did was I just threw everything into one big stock pot start to boil till it was tender and transferred it to my Blendtec. Adding cooked chicken at the very end is a great idea nnorman. You can also keep the base soup and add a different ingredient everyday and make everyday a different version. ;)
I purchased this machine to make soups without having to do any cooking preparation. I would also like to see more recepies that would meet this function.
I often find Blendtec recipes rather bland, but this has to be one of the BEST soups we’ve ever made: super tasty and healthy. Yes, it does take a bit of extra work, but every minute was worth it. Thank you Blendtec!!
