Considering the Purchase of Vita Mix

Hi Everyone,

I'm considering the purchase of a Vita-Mix. I'm just not sure how I would use it. I've been curious as to how it makes hot soup as I do like to make soups.  I've been reading the group messages and see you are making a lot of cold smoothie type beverages. It might be nice in the Summer to drink a cold smoothie for breakfast, but in the cold winter that does not sound so appealing.  Are you primarily using your Vita Mix's for smoothie type drinks? I was hoping to see more recipe type messages I guess so I could get a feel of how this appliance would change my way of cooking, and eating.  Any suggestions where I could read more about why you purchased a Vita Mix and what you use it for everyday?

Vita-Mix makes great soup! The recipe book that comes with the machine features hundreds of recipes...soup I believe is a chapter.

Best,
Shannon
