    Which button should I select if the only options are Lo, Med, High, Hot, Smoothie, or Pulse?

    Sorry about that, we’re working on updating our recipes to have more universal instructions but until then, please refer to these blend cycle conversions: http://www.blendtec.com/blo… So, for this recipe, blend on Med for about 50-60 seconds. Hope this helps!

    Great suggestions! Made a fabulous soup. A little salty. Instead of tomato juice, next time I’ll just add a few extra tomatoes and some more water.
