Mastering Soup in the Vitamix Ascent X5: Blend and Heat Effortlessly

Quick Summary

• The Vitamix Ascent X5 blender features a soup function that can not only blend but also cook soups using friction heat generated by its powerful motor.
• It heats liquid ingredients to cooking temperatures between 140°F and 190°F within seven minutes, steaming and cooking soups directly in the blender jar without an external heat source.
• Users can add raw, pre-cooked, or mixed ingredients to customize recipes such as tomato soup, broccoli soup, or potato soup. Ingredients like roasted tomatoes or seared onions can enhance flavor before blending.
• The process requires careful measurement of liquid content for optimal consistency and allows adjustments post-cooking-such as thinning with broth or thickening using aquafaba, cannellini beans, or mashed potatoes.
• Using the pre-set “soup cycle” enables hands-free operation while ensuring consistent cooking results.
