It is a lot more powerful than my old blender, PP, and can do a lot more, which is why I'm asking. Thanks for your incredibly helpful reply!!!

Didn’t your Vitamix come with a recipe book? Mine did. And can’t you Google?

It makes great blended soups. Really silky restaurant texture.

Start with this recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/15-minute-creamy-tomato-soup-vegan-recipe

I also like it for making tikka masala sauce that I can in tomato season, smoothies, nut milks, peanut sauce for cold peanut noodles...it's a great blender.

Use it a few times and then put it in the basement to pull out occasionally.

Do you have any specific recipes that you really like?

Obviously, but the Vitamix can do a lot more than my older blender did.

It is more.

I can make soups using this with a texture I can’t replicate any other way.


So share some links or recipes!
Not OP but I’m having oral surgery in a couple of weeks and need some soup suggestions

You can blend all sorts of things. Smoothies, salad dressings, and marinades are my favorites. I also bought the dry goods container so I grind my coffee in there as well.

Fresh salsa (recipe in the little book/pamphlet that comes with the blender is good).

My 20+ year old blender that I've had since college finally died (RIP Osterizer), so we decided to splurge on a Vitamix. So far we've just made a variety of smoothies. What are your favorite things to make with your Vitamix? Any go to recipes? Links? Tell me how to make the most of this $$$$$ thing!!
