Soup In Blender You Say? The Complete Guide To Soup Making Magic With A Blender

Good morning soup lovers! Picture this, a chilly day, your favourite cosy blanket and a steaming bowl of homemade soup ready in minutes.

With high-speed blenders like the Optimum 9200A 2nd Generation, Optimum G2.6 Slim Platinum Series, Optimum 9400X and Optimum 9400 Essential you can transform fresh ingredients into velvety, soul-warming soups in no time. Let’s dive into the delicious adventures of soup in blender that will have you saying “Who needs pots anyway?”

Blending science behind the soup magic

The secret to soup in blender lives in its incredible ability to blend and heat simultaneously. High-speed blenders generate heat through friction as the blade spins at very fast speeds. This means you can start with cold or room-temperature ingredients and end up with a steaming bowl of soup that’s ready in minutes – talk about efficiency! Say goodbye to extra pots and pans. Your blender does all the tough work, so you can sit back and relax.

What to prep before blending

Before you fire up your blender, it’s worth spending a little time prepping your ingredients. The beauty of making soup in blender lies in its simplicity, but a few steps can take your soup from good to gourmet. Whether you’re working with vibrant vegetables, aromatic herbs, or hearty legumes, knowing what to do beforehand will give you the smoothest blends and tastiest results. So let’s break it down:

Soft veggies like tomatoes, zucchini and spinach: These are the easygoing stars of blender soups. They blend beautifully when raw, preserving their fresh flavours, vivid colours and nutrients. No extra cooking is required – just wash, chop and toss them in!

Hearty veggies like carrots, potatoes and pumpkin: These tougher ingredients benefit from a little pre-softening. Steaming or boiling them will give you silky-smooth consistencies and prevent your blender from struggling. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in the final texture.

Onions and garlic: While you can add these raw, sauteing them first transforms their sharpness into a rich, caramelized sweetness. It’s this kind of depth of flavour that turns a simple soup into something truly special.

Legumes and grains: Lentils, beans and grains like rice are nutritional powerhouses, but they need to be fully cooked beforehand. Whether you’re using canned beans or leftovers from last night’s dinner, your blender isn’t designed to soften them when making soup.

Extra pro tip: To make blending even easier, chop large veggies into smaller, more manageable chunks. This not only saves time but makes sure your blender works efficiently to create a perfectly creamy soup.

Ready to transform simple ingredients into a bowl of heartwarming magic? With these simple steps, you’ll go from chopping to savouring a delicious, velvety soup in blender creation in minutes. Let’s dive into it and turn those fresh veggies and pantry staples into the ultimate comfort food.

Choose your ingredients: Start with your favourite veggies, a good stock and some seasonings. Don’t forget to get creative – think fresh herbs, a splash of coconut milk or a sprinkle of your favourite spices.

Add enough liquid: Stock, water, or even plant-based milk keeps everything moving smoothly. Start small and adjust quantities to your preferred consistency.

Blend in stages: Pulse your ingredients to break them down first, then blend on high speed for three to five minutes. Watch the magic happen as steam rises from the blender – your soup is heating up!

Taste and tweak: Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt, pepper, a splash of lemon, or a drizzle of olive oil. These small touches make all the difference.

Serve and savour: Pour your soup into the bowl, garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy every spoonful of nutritious goodness.
