I have a little obsession with my Vitamix blender that I received as a gift for my birthday.
We use it in our house on a daily basis. BEST blender ever!!!
My perfect little blending machine inspired this soup.
So smooth and tasty. Yum Yum. Enjoy it as a side dish or as a Main.
I hope your family loves it as much as mine does.
Eat Up and Enjoy!
