Notes

Nutritional information provided is an estimate.

Use an immersion blender instead of a stand blender if desired. If you use a regular blender, be careful not to fill the canister all the way up with hot liquids because the lid may pop off. Fill the canister halfway and pour pureed soup in a a separate bowl and repeat the process until all the soup has been pureed.
