Guest guest Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi Lea Ann,Sorry. Typo. It should read "1 cup" purple cabbage.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Liane- I had a similar result with an early tomato soup attempt back when I first bought my Vitamix. Can I ask, are you used to raw foods? We found in our case since we were not used to a raw food diet, we did eat raw veggies but carrots, celery, tomatoes and such not all our food raw. My husband loves tomato soup but had always had the normal canned variety. We found for us the problem was having the raw soup. I had to put the Vitamix soup in a pan and cook it. Then it tasted pretty good. We still can not eat it raw. Guess too much of a creature of habit. But this could be part of the issue if you are not used to raw. This soup tastes nothing like the store bought cooked soups we are used to.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks for your comments Vickey. I do eat a lot of raw foods but more so in salads and smoothies. I agree with your suggestion. I will have to cook the tomatoes first for soup. It's more work, but seems its worth it.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I would suggest cooking the onion and the garlic before adding to the mix. Sauteeing or roasting like Lee Ann suggested should take out the bitter. Not sure I'd pre-cook the tomatoes, but once everything was all mixed up, then I'd heat it up like a soup. The ingredients sound great, I think it's just in the preparation. And for the cabbage, I'd use some, not a whole head. I'd even consider not adding it to the mix, but adding some cut up to the pot.

Anyhow, it was so awful tasting I threw the entire batch out.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hello all, I recieved my vita-mix for Christmas and have enjoyed using it mulitple times a day every since! I joined this group shortly after the holiday and have learned so much from all of you. Thank you! I am searching for a good Tomato Soup Recipe. I tried making the tomato bisque recipe from the Vita-Mix website and I wasn't thrilled! I have some campari tomatoes to use up and thought a yummy hot soup would be perfect for my family this afternoon! Thanks, Monet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Tomato soup is one of my daughter's favorites made in the Vitamix. I use campai tomatoes as well. I cut the tomatoes in half, lay them on a double fold of tin foil (or you can use a glass baking dish, but the foil makes for super easy clean up-once your veggies are all in, just fold it up and seal it into a packet before baking) add a small wedge of red onion, clove of garlic cut in half, couple of leaves of basil, tarragon and/or thyme, drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil and a squeeze of lime, then roast them for about 1/2 hour in a 375 oven to develop the sugars in the tomato. When roasted, I just open the package right in to the Vitamix container and buzz it up, pour into a bowl and sprinkle thinly sliced scallions on top. Nice and easy, hearty, and delish! > > Hello all, > > I recieved my vita-mix for Christmas and have enjoyed using it mulitple times a day every since!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Isn't foil made with aluminum ? I've read many times that it damages the brain and leads to Alzheimer. That soup does sound good.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yes, foil is made with aluminum, and I usually avoid it, and often use parchment instead of foil, but I do use foil now and then since it isn't cooking for too long. Glass is better, of course!Sent from my iPadOn Jan 28, 2012, at 1:28 PM, "Lucille" <lschacht@...> wrote: Isn't foil made with aluminum ?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I tried this recipe and it turned out great! Thanks. I had to use Roma tomatoes because they were the only ones grown in the USA at my grocery store and I refuse to buy from Mexico. Not the best tomato to use, but the recipe was still delicious.
