Question

Should you puree vegetables in a liquidiser when making vegetable soup?

Answer 1

People like their veg soup differently. Personally I like it chunky, but if you want it smooth, cook the soup as if you were making it chunky first, then when everything is really soft, put it in the liquidiser. Careful, cos it'll be hot. Put the lid on!

Answer 2

Why not. You would still get all our goodness, but we would be easier to digest. :)

Answer 3

only if u want soup with no lumps.

if you want it chunky, just put them in cut up

Answer 4

After you have cooked the soup, pour it into a blender for a smoother texture, you might have to do it in batches depending on how much you have made. but if you want a chunky soup, theres no need to blend the cooked veg.

Answer 5

Yes, you can, it depends how chunky you like the soup. I don't bother because I like the vegies whole, just chopped.
