Recipe Notes
If you want to thin out this very luscious soup, suggest adding some veggie or bone broth.
Serve with a swirl of lime zest and your choice of crusty bread option (or your choice of GF crackers ~ my favourite? Mary's Seed crackers!)

Has anyone tried these recipes in a Vitamix? Do they work? I know that not cooking veggies to death is actually better for us, but I'm wondering how things like sweet potatoes actually do in a Vitamix. Would love some feedback! Thank you!

I have a VitaMix and love using it. I've not made this with it but I bet it would be just fine!

My new electric pressure cooker means, at the least, that soups are going to be easier to make in small batches. I'm psyched. I was getting tired of those huge batches of cabbage-based soups.
