The day we got our Blendtec, we had to make soup for dinner because we just couldn’t believe you could take raw veggies and a blender would turn them into a cooked, smooth, creamy soup. I mean, seriously, it makes no sense. But it does it! And it tastes so good!
The first time we made it, we weren’t yet on the paleo way of eating, so we added some black beans, corn, and cheese. And I’ll be honest, it was delicious! But it’s still good without. Really good.
