I love my new red, shiny Vitamix. It has the strength of 10 kitchen appliances and makes the most velvety smooth soup you’ve ever tasted. Did I mention it cooks it to the perfect temperature too? This was a quick fix soup I made the day it arrived, as in “QUICK, what do I have to throw in this puppy?”
