Smooth and creamy Vitamix soup recipes can be enjoyed year round! They’re cozy, warm (most of them), easy to make and healthy.

Even better, these recipes use a wide range of fresh, seasonal ingredients such as beets, cauliflower, sweet potato or butternut squash.

7 Healthy Vitamix Soup Recipes to Enjoy Year Round (2)

Soups are quite simply, some of the easiest and nourishing meals possible. You can load them up with vegetables and warm yourself from the inside out. It goes without saying that they’re perfect for the fall and winter months, but truly, they can be enjoyed year round.

How to Make Soup in a Blender

When it comes to making soup in your Vitamix blender, there’s usually two steps:

  1. Roast, saute, or boil some vegetables.
  2. Blend the hot cooked vegetables with other ingredients and liquids (i.e. broth) in the blender for a smooth consistency.

If the ingredients are already hot, it takes just one to two minutes to purée everything together. Super easy.

But if you have a Vitamix model with a soup function, you can add room temperature ingredients (assuming they don’t need to be cooked) and create a steaming-hot soup in under 10 minutes. How? The friction of the blades!Yes, the blades really can make a delicious, piping-hot soup.

You know what else the blades can do? They can intensify flavors of raw aromatics, like onion, garlic and spices. So I always recommend roasting or sauteing onion and garlic, or starting with a minimal amount, and adding more as desired.

A Few More Blended Soup Tips

I’ve made my fair share of blended soups, and in doing so, I have two important tips I’d like to share:

  • Make an extra large batch: You know I’m a huge fan of meal prep, and soup is quite possible the easiest meal to freeze and store. I love to store soup in my Weck Jars or silicone Souper Cubes. They’re perfect to reheat on a rainy day or when I’m in need extra nourishment. Watch how I meal prep them on the video below!
  • It’s all about the toppings: Blended soups are creamy and delicious, but without chunks or texture they can look a little boring. So jazz them up with toppings! Some of my favorites include herbs, greens, nuts, seeds, spices, creams and yogurt.

With all of those tips, you’ll be a soup blending master in no time. So without further ado, here are my 7 favorite Vitamix soup recipes to enjoy year round! And I show how to make several of them in the video below. Give it a watch!
