Does this blender cook the vegetables when you make soup.

To be honest with you I stop using that piece of garbage, i barely used a few times and the base is already loose, dont waste your money on that piece of junk

Hi - no the blender only blends but does an amazing job. You will need to cook your soup on your stove. Good luck!

I don't know. Depends on the vegetable I would say. I haven't used it very much.

Anything you put in while it is blending/cooking will be blended to liquid...you have to add cut veggies after it is hot...there is a recipe booklet that tells you how to make different soups

I haven't tried to make soup yet, but I do use my Blendtech almost daily making smoothies, salad dressings, peanut butter etc... I have not had any problems with the lid. If this is a concern, just hold the lid down while processing. It only takes seconds for this blender to pulverize anything you put in it.

Yes it does but don't expect it to be chunk free. I have my 30 dollar ninja blender for that.

I suppose that if you left the smoothies in there long enough it would heat up. It only heats up the soup by friction. There is no heating element.

I have this blender and it works amazing. Just use a little water or use a push stick like the vitamax. It fits with the waring, If you want it to blend a little faster. Those are common rules everyone knows when blending. And any blender makes hot soup if you leave it on long enough haha. No seriously just make a regular soup then heat it up on the stove.

yes but you need to pot the top and not leave it in for too long, this get very hot very quickly. However found it best to put soup in the aluminum tray to heat and it will take about 30 minutes at most to heat.

Simple Answer: NO - I have not come across any vegetable that this blender cannot handle - including broccoli. Long Answer: I have owned this blender for several months now and it beats the conventional, cheaper blenders by a mile! Yet it does not cost an arm and a leg like some of the high end blenders. I make smoothies every day and while I put in a variety of fruits and vegetables, it always includes a full container of kale. My ingredients generally include filing the blender with kale, one fresh squeezed lemon, and two cups of an organic juice and then blend for several seconds. I then add some of the following: avocado, banana and/or berries, carrots, celery, cherries, apples, cranberries, bell peppers, sesame seeds, pumpkin puree, etc. The drink always comes out perfect with the Ninja! Enjoy!!

Yes. This model has a stainless steel wand and its own beaker, whisk, chopper and purée masher attachment . Plus the Soup XL pan blender - an attachment specially designed for blending soups directly into the saucepan without splashing.

Hi Barbara...the Vitamix makes soup. The blade speed is at such a high velocity that ingredients heat after a few minutes (follow instructions for complete timing information). For smoothies, I put in ice cubes to keep the drink cold when blending. For heating soup, use a microwave, especially if meat is involved.

Of course, it does! It is the most wonderful gadget in my kitchen. Besides cooking perfect rice in it, I also steam vegetables and have even made soup and prepared ramen with it. The list can go on. Even if it is little, it takes in a lot of items. It hardly takes up any space on my counter.

The blade and housing are made of metal and should be able to blend soups. I'm not sure about ice. The manual does not indicate that those items are a problem.

No, but if you want to make soft food smoother (bananas, avacado) or take fibers out of food that are soft (strings on cooked beans, skins from cooked peas) it works well. You'd still need a blender or food processor.

This blender is not good for hot items, it will explode out of the top because the velocity is so high. It is better to wait till your soup has cooled then try blending it and reheating it in another manner.

Yes, a smaller unit does that. But I haven't used it yet. If it's anything like the larger blender, it should be good!

I'm not sure. I use it primarily for my green smoothie. It has a soup button, but never used it.

It does not slice vegetables. It chops, blends, and crushes . It makes great smoothies , frozen drinks, and salsa at our house.

I did have a manual in my box, but the programming was pretty straightforward. Did you check the website for instructions? It did make good blended soups, particularly tomato based, if that's you're thing (my husband loves them, I'm neutral). The only hitch I encountered was that it did tend to scorch on the bottom a bit, so just be prepared for that.
