Puree Time

Friday, September 5th, 2008
What a lovely week I have had. So here it is the end of summer and I am stuck eating puree of anything since I just had gum surgery. If there is anyone you want to put a hex on consider telling them that they should have gum surgery… painful, slow to heal and a bleak outlook of an endless array of bland purees.

I knew that one day my unbelievably powerful Vita Mix, a super blender that can turn anything into a creamy, thick puree, would come in handy for more than my husband’s protein drinks. Somehow the Vita Mix makes soups truly creamy without the slightest bit of cream. I have had a field day checking out its powerful abilities that can turn bland zuchinni or sweet butternut squash into soups that would wow anyone. If you don’t have a Vita Mix don’t worry. Just use your blender… it may not be quite as creamy but not a problem.

Here you will find two of my favorite soups that you can enjoy now when you’re feeling good or when you or your family have a dental moment that requires the famous term “soft food”. You won’t feel like you are being deprived once you taste these yummy, flavorful potions. Enjoy.
