This is a healthy and simple soup I whipped up for the Vitamix®. Can easily be made vegetarian or vegan by substituting vegetable broth and/or non-dairy milk. You can reserve some of the microwaved broccoli and potatoes and add them after blending if you like more substance to your soup. Enjoy!

Directions

  • Spread potatoes and broccoli onto a microwave-safe plate. Cook in microwave until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

  • Place onion, potatoes, broccoli, milk, chicken broth, pepper, salt, ginger, and thyme in the Vitamix® or blender. Start on variable 1, slowly increase to variable 10, and end on high for 4 to 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Cook's Note:

This recipe was made specifically for the Vitamix(R) 5200 with the 64 ounce container. I cannot promise the outcome will be the same in a different blender.

I don't like Broccoli so I can't give this a 5 star rating. I made this for someone else who liked it. The Vitamix works great with this recipe. The only change I made was not use as much onion as it calls for. I just thought it would overpower the flavor of the Broccoli. Try it!! Read More

I followed the recipe but didn't like it at all. This recipe didn't have enough flavor. I would suggest first oven-roasting and seasoning the potatoes broccoli. Then add some other seasonings in the soup... but overall this just missed the mark. Read More

it was a great easy quick recipe with a surprisingly nice flavour (was a little weary of the broccoli and ginger together). I omitted the milk and just used more broth (chicken). Yummy! Read More
