Autumn Soups You’re Sure To Fall For with Vitamix The Quiet One
As the weather gets cooler, the evenings get darker, and the leaves start turning different color shades, it’s our natural instinct to cuddle up and crave some comfort food. Nothing says fall quite like a delicious soup. It warms you from the inside, it can be enjoyed via a bowl or a mug, and it’s the perfect dinner after those long brisk hours raking leaves or picking apples. Even though Vitamix is well known for their smoothie capabilities, it can create a mean soup or bisque, too, and we’re here to share some of our favorite fall soup recipes with the Vitamix Quiet One, now with twist and lock.
There’s a new Vitamix blender out that’s an upgrade from the flagship commercial line. The Quiet One with Twist Lock now has a plastic lockable enclosure that makes the Quiet One even quieter. Just how quiet? It actually puts out less sound decibels than the average conversational tone. If anyone is experienced in making soup in a Vitamix, it’s the perfect mixing to do that, with no additional heat required. Just turn on the blender, and the speed of the rotating blade heats the soup mixture evenly. It feels like a fun magic trick when you remove it and see the steam coming out for your own eyes. Simply leave the Vitamix Quiet One mixing for 5+ minutes to create this soup mixture, and with the new Quiet One, you won’t have to worry about the “blender noise” annoying any guests who are dining in, or cause the staff to raise their voices in the kitchen or prep area.
We decided to gather up two of our favorite soup recipes that taste like autumn exploded in your mouth, and share them here for you to enjoy and test out in your Vitamix The Quiet One.
