I don't have any particular recipe but blended soups are very forgiving. Generally speaking it's good to start with sauteing onions and garlic as a base to add flavor, then add your desired vegetable(s), cover with water or broth, add salt and pepper and whatever spices you like, and then summer until the vegetables are cooked through. Blend and then taste and adjust seasoning.

Green soup aka broccoli/squash/leek/ pea soup - pick at least 3 and start.

Sautéed diced onions and/or leeks the more the merrier
Add salt to quicken the process
Dice or chunk 3-5 squash, 2/3 potatoes and a parsnip and 4 garlic bulbs/frozen cubes or better yet roasted garlic.
Add a cupful of frozen peas and 2 cups of frozen broccoli.
Blend well.

Serve with homemade croutons.

Comes out tasty, creamy and fancy looking.

Sautee onion/garlic. Cube zucchini and potatoes. Sautee for abt 10 min. Fill pot 3/4 full. Cook and blend. If you like color, leave some zucchini unpeeled.
Sautee onion/garlic. Cube butternut squash. Proceed the same way but without potatoes.

In instant pot, saute 1 chopped onion, 3 diced carrots, 4 stalks chopped celery in a bit of oil for 7 minutes. Add 4 cloves minced garlic (I use more) and some oregano and saute 1 minute. Add 8 cups vegetable broth and one bag dried white beans (the recipe calls for cannellini, but anything will work). Cook at high pressure for 45 to 50 minutes, natural release. Use stick blender, leaving a few beans/chunky veggies.

I make this with fresh herbs. So so good. Got the recipe from someone a few months ago. We can't get enough of it!

My favorite.

Cauliflower soup

1 bag frozen cauliflower
1 onion
3 cubes frozen garlic
2 tbsp onion soup mix
1/2 cup oil

Roast in oven for 1 hour.
Transfer to pot, add water and salt and let it cook. Blend and enjoy.

My 'Orange Soup' is easy, forgiving, and tasty.
Peel and chunk 1 sweet potato, 1 onion, 1 white potato, and 2-3 carrots. I sometimes add butternut squash, garlic cloves, and/or peeled zucchini. Cover with water and cook until all veggies are tender. Blend. Add salt to taste. Can thin with more water if needed.

I made one of the recipes for tonight. Looks like I dont have a good blender. The soup didn’t come out right lol. I’m looking for that restaurant/wedding soup texture. You know what I mean? 🙈🙈
It came out goopy but it tasted better than it looked and felt. I added more water and salt and spices and blended again. Same consistency😫

I can’t remember how long I cooked the veggies in the water but it was a while.

When you use an immersion blender, you need to lift the blender about 1/2"-1" off the bottom of the pot (but keeping the blade fully submerged to make sure no [hot] liquid squirts up), so that all the soup to gets sucked under there and blends evenly. Blend, blend and blend some more, tilting the pot a bit if necessary. Keep blending until super silky and smooth.

This is a fantastic thread! Thank you! Can you put frozen bagged veggies straight in or do you have to defrost them first in oven?

I make a delicious vegetable bean soup. It has lots of beans and veggies cubed. I blend half the soup for my very picky eater and freeze so I know he has a full meal

Thanks! My pareve pot is like short not tall, so I think it’s doable just a little bit more trickier to blend everything in.
