How to heat soup in a Vitamix? ›

Blend all ingredients on your machine's highest speed for about 6 minutes. Some recipes will have you reserve some meat or veggies to add a chunky texture at the end. The speed of the blades has created enough friction to heat these raw ingredients.

Can I place hot ingredients in my Vitamix container? Your Vitamix Ascent™ Series blender is capable of heating soups to a steamy temperature of 170°F, so we do not recommend adding anything to your container that exceeds that temperature.

Imagine if you could run your hands together 500 times a second how hot they would get… well the same principal is happening on the blades. The blades are spinning at over 500 times seconds which creates friction energy that will boil cold water in 8 minutes.

It is important to start on the lowest setting and gradually increase the speed. To achieve a silky-smooth texture, keep the blender running for at least 1 to 2 minutes in order to fully break down the solids. A common mistake is to not run the blender long enough. This results in a grainy-textured soup.

Tortillas and Bread

Just as you would with stale bread, soak tortilla strips in a small bowl of strained soup or broth, puree them in a blender, and add the mixture to your stock pot. Both bread and tortillas absorb liquid, so keep that in mind when determining how much to use.

While the Vitamix container is built to withstand high temperature, it should never be used to blend any boiling or close to boiling liquids, nor any foods that are too hot to eat in their current state.

Hot soup (or other hot liquids, for that matter) will steam and expand in the blender, which can push the top off and cause a mess and burn hazard. When pureeing hot soup, do it in batches. Fill the blender 1/3 to 1/2 full, remove or loosen the center cap from the lid of the blender.

Blenders are ideal for preparing and making delicious sauces, soups, broths. You can blend hot liquids, but please be take care: When blending hot liquids or ingredients, the Ingredient-measuring Cap should remain in place over the lid opening. As it's vented, the steam will be able to escape.

With the use of your Vitamix blender it's never been easier to make homemade ice cream in just a matter of minutes. All recipes use real ingredients, so you have the added benefit of knowing exactly what's in your sweet treat of choice. These easy Vitamix recipes are simple, tasty and temptingly moreish.

How long to simmer soup before blending? ›

Simmer the soup until tender: Simmer for about an hour or until all the vegetables are soft. Purée the soup in a blender or with an immersion blender for a creamy soup, if you like.

Your Vitamix Ascent™ Series blender is capable of heating soups to a steamy temperature of 170°F, so we do not recommend adding anything to your container that exceeds that temperature.

Hot liquids can expand and explode when you blend them in a blender, creating pressure from inside that blows off the lid. The best case is that the liquid spurts all over your kitchen, a real mess to clean up. The worst case is that you or others nearby are burned by the hot liquid.

Add broth (should be warm but not boiling hot) along with ingredients you'll be using for your soup, like the thawed peas, green onion, salt, pepper and avocado into your blender's jar. Secure the lid, and start blending slowly, gradually increasing the speed. Blend for about 5 minutes.

Hot soup (or other hot liquids, for that matter) will steam and expand in the blender, which can push the top off and cause a mess and burn hazard. When pureeing hot soup, do it in batches. Fill the blender 1/3 to 1/2 full, remove or loosen the center cap from the lid of the blender.

You can indeed make a hot soup from cold ingredients using certain high end blenders. The only one I've verified this with is the vita-mix. To do this, you put your ingredients in to the blender, turn it on, and let it run about 5 minutes. The friction from the blades heats the soup while chopping the ingredients.
