Ingredients

1 Roma Tomato
8 Baby Carrots
1 Celery Stalk
2 Cups Vegetable Broth (or Chicken)
1 Tablespoon Chipotle Puree
1 Clove Garlic
1 Teaspoon Taco Seasoning
1/3 Red Bell Pepper
1/3 Green Bell Pepper
½ Cup Black Beans
½ Cup Canned Corn
Squirt of Lime

Optional Toppings

Cilantro
Shredded Cheese
Sour Cream
Crushed Tortilla Chips
Avocado Slices
Dashes of Salt & Pepper

Instructions

The first step is to place the first seven ingredients into the blender. This means the tomato, carrots, celery, 2 cups of broth, chipotle puree, clove garlic, and taco seasoning.
The second step is to turn on your blender and let it run through the hot soup cycle. After about 6 minutes, you should notice steam leaving through the vented top of the blender.
Cut your peppers into strips and add half of them into the blender, then blend again for 30 seconds.
Pause to add the other half of the peppers into the blender, add the black beans and corn, and pulse the blender between 5 and 10 times until you have reached the perfect soup consistency. The soup should now be thick and creamy.
The last step is to pour your soup into two bowls, sprinkle each with lime juice, then add your preferred toppings and enjoy your hot blender soup.

Notes

You may add tortilla chips into the blender mixture during the last step to pulse them. This is only if you are a fan of soggy chips. If not, you can simply dip your hard tortilla chips into the soup when it is finished.

Instructions

There are definitely a lot of ingredients for this soup, but don’t let that stress you out. It is actually very easy. First, place the initial 13 ingredients into your Vitamix blender and blend on the highest speed for about 5 minutes. There is no need to peel any of the vegetables, and you can even leave the garlic skin on.
After about 5 or 6 minutes, when your soup mixture has gotten hot and steamy, you can add the last five ingredients. Then you want to blend for about 10 seconds on the lowest variable speed. This will cut your chicken into nice pieces without mushing it.
Next, you can divide the soup into bowls and enjoy the meal.

If you want your soup to be extremely hot, you can go ahead and run the Vitamix for 8 minutes instead of five. This will make your mixture extremely hot.
