I found this video last night, and immediately ran out to get all the ingredients. The only thing that I changed up was that I used purple carrots and red cabbage so I could get more of the red color to the soup. And I couldn't find chili peppers so I used part of a jalapeno. Lol. I'm eating it at the moment, and it is so delicious.
Wow, I'm impressed. I laughed when you were just chucking all sorts of stuff in the blender, "keep the stems and leaves etc"; it reminded me of Doc at the end of back to the future when he's chucking stuff into the "Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor"...
I've just made this soup, and it's absolutely gorgeous! Unbelievably quick and simple! I didn't have a spring onion so I substituted with a white onion, I didn't have any fresh hot peppers so I substituted with chilli fakes, and no cabbage so I used lettuce, but the recipe still turned out amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
I used my vitamix for the first time today. Made kale,banana smoothie with almond milk and flax seeds. Good stuff. It's a very powerful machine. I'm about to make tomato soup now :)
Wow! I just got my Vitamix today and just watched your video. Ran to store for ingredients and as I type this, I am enjoying the best soup I have ever had. My five year old daughter loves it too. Yay! Thank you. TRULY RAWMAZING PRESENTATION AND RECIPE!
My wife and I have been making this recipe of yours for years in our vitamix! We often refer back to this video to refresh our memory on the ingredients. Figured I’d drop a comment to say thank you! Also just saw you’re still posting recipes so we will check out your other videos too👍🏻
Hi Scott, thanks for watching and letting me know, it's always nice to hear positive feedback :) This recipe is one my all time favourite Vitamix soup recipes. You can find our complete recipe database here: www.rawblend.com.au/our-recipes/ Happy Blending!
Hi Tommy,i realised that after watching your video again........ it is a very tasty soup. I passed this recipe on to my friend who is on the 2-5 fast diet ....... she plays around with the cashew content slightly as she is only allowed 500 calories on these days and she likes to fit in a green thick in the morning ...perfect!
Hi, thanks for the video. I love my Vitamix. You can use Kitchen Basics (or any of the other prepared stocks) unsalted vegetable stock in place of the water and stock cube. No added sodium. Flavorful without added sodium (may have to salt to taste after that).
Thanks for your advice! i should receive my Vitamix tomorrow and i will undoubtly enjoy delicious soup and perfect Victoria Boutenko smoothies :) Good Health
I just got mine a few days ago, i was surprised that it didn't have a button that said heat on it, but you just explained that for me.Before I bought this I didn't think I wanted a blender that heated, but boy i changed my mind,I have always made my own homemade soups, in large batches, but this fresh meatless soup, is gonna be so good for me, and my son.
Hi Steph, To make a hot soup, we leave the Vitamix running for roughly 4-6 minutes. When making a smoothie, the Vitamix only runs for about 60-90 seconds and we like to put ice in our smoothies so its icy cold! I hope this helps!
Yummy recipe thank you look forward to watching more of your soup making, I did end up making it with vegetable broth instead of water as I had some to use up , was very good!
Tommy Nicholas.......loved it. I see a lot of tomato basil soups with the vitamix, but this one was pretty good, especially on cold days like today. Cheers.
Hi archama99 At the start of the video, the ingredients were only pulsed and not blended together. Once the cashews and tomato have blended together, they make that nice colour in the soup and we ran the blender for about 5 minutes. Thanks for watching and happy blending!
Hey Tommy, I got my vitamix and I love it. We tried the brocoli soup, I loved it, (my son didn't, but he likes eating brocoli straight up). Can I make a request that you make a lentil soup using the vitamix? I was thinking just straight up lentils with some form of milk? Thank you for all your videos. Ilove them!
Hi Tommy! I would like to get some advices...Above 46°Celsius, the enzymes get screwed so in order to not destroy those precious enzymes what would be the average time to run the vitamix? i noticed that your marvelous soup was steaming. Would it be fine as well rather using cold water to use instead luke warm water then just spin the mix for, let say , 30 seconds? Thanks for your nice video
Hi there, I use the Red Cayenne Chilli's. They're just common chillis - not too spicy, so I'm sure you could use your favourite chilli, and just adjust the amount according to how spicy you want it. Thanks for watching!
I would like to make plit peas soup in my vitamix but I cant find any receipes I do love tomato basil to but plti pea is one my fav could you make one up for us Linda
Please keep making raw soup recipes. I've been using the vitamix for 8 yrs & every night Ive make a raw soup in it. Leafy green based soups are more difficult to enjoy for most people - you have to find the right balance of ingredients. Maybe some of the green soups would be great to show on your channel?
Hi holy living That is wonderful to hear :) and thank you for your feedback - we really appreciate it. We do have more recipes on our website: www.rawblend.com.au if you want to check them out. Have a great day and Happy Blending.
Great video Tommy. I was just wondering if you could answer a question that's been plaguing me. Does the intense speed of the blades break down any potential nutrition? I have read it breaks down the digestive enzymes and other things
Hi Claire! There are two cookbooks on the side. "Fresh - The Ultimate Live-Food Cookbook (Victoria Boutenko)" and "12 Steps to Raw Food - Revised Edition (Victoria Boutenko)" Glad you like the recipe!
Hi Gloupek9, The Vitamix will heat roughly 10 degrees every minute, so if you wanted to preserve all of the enzymes, you could leave it running for up to 4 minutes without destroying any of the nutrients. You can always use a thermometer to double check. I hope this helps!
Hi Derek Doucette, Please note that the Vitamix Heats the soup through friction heat due to the speed of the blades and not a cooking element. You can have complete control over what temperature you "cook" your soup at. To qualify as a raw food you want to make sure you don’t heat it above 110-118 degrees F (43-47 degrees C), because above that temperature you start destroying the nutrients and enzymes of the food. You can use a thermometer to double check. I hope this helps!
Hi Andrew, At the end of the day, all heat will destroy enzymes. When you make soup with a Vitamix, rather than boiling the food, we are just heating it up with friction heat. Many Raw Foodies will leave it running for around 4 minutes so it is roughly at 40 degrees. It is only at 46 degrees when the enzymes begin to be destroyed. I hope this helps Andrew. Have a good day!
Well, my Vitamix 5200 arrived today, and the second thing I tried in it was a variant of this soup (tomatoes, celery, carrots, basil, organic veggie stock, cashews, fresh lemon slice, and a pinch of chilli flakes). Yum, so good! It took 6 minutes from starting to grab ingredients to drinking the soup, with everything all washed up and put away. I only put a tiny pinch of chilli flakes in, but it's got real bite!
Hi Linette,We use nuts to make the soup creamy. We've made a few using shredded coconut instead or you could try avocado? Thanks for watching and happy blending!
Hi there! We use stock to add flavour, rather than just using water. It's entirely up to you if you include it or not. Thanks for watching and happy blending!
Hi Cassandra Harris, 12 Steps to Raw Foods has some really healthy soup recipes amongst some other fantastic raw food recipes. It's a great addition to your book collection. I hope this helps!
Hi Tommy, I am thinking of purchasing the Vitamix S30, will I be able to make a raw hot soup with this smaller model the same way? Do you have reviews on smaller models of the Vitamixers?
+Alisa Antonelli Thank you for your comment. You can certainly make hot soups in the Vitamix S30 however it will be done in smaller quantities. It certainly won't be able to handle to same amount as the TNC 5200. It comes with an amazing cookbook with many soup ideas. Thank you for watching and happy blending !
Hmmm, they don't have that model at Target, which is where I'm getting my unit. I am going for a certified reconditioned model then with the 64 oz. pitcher. I do hope that I can get a smaller pitcher as an additional accessory. I'm following you - I'm new to this entirely and haven't a clue on where to begin. Thank you for the quick response!
Please ensure that the left switch is turned up, this overrides the variable speeds and uses the HIGHEST speed. It depends on if you have the Total Nutrition Centre 5200 or not :) Thanks for watching and happy blending
Hi fansari2 We have been working with the Vitamix blender for over 20 years. If it is a high powered blender that can create friction heat it should be able to. However, as we are unsure of your blenders capabilities. it might be best to speak to the company you purchased your product off. Have a wonderful day.
Wow I'm so glad I found you and your wonderful recipes. Any chance I can substitute cashew with almonds? Or what other nut would you suggest? Thanks alot!! I'm so excited to try your recipes
Almonds would work but it won't be as creamy. Claire in the office loves to substitute the cashews with White Beans like Cannellini :) A lot less fat and great for those with any nut intolerance.
Your accent is beautiful but so strong, many of the ingredients you said I had no idea what you were speaking of until I saw the food. In American the word Basil is pronounced as "Bay- sil", not bahh-cill. There were others but that really leaped out! 😄 Brook in Indiana, USA
Haha thanks Brook! Yes crazy how many small differences there are between the US and Australia even though we both speak English. Capsicum and Bell Pepper, Coriander and Cilantro, Spring Onion and Scallions just to name a few. Thanks for watching :)
There is no heating element in the Vitamix. What heats it up is the friction of the blades and it usually heats up 10 degrees Celsius every minute. Raw Foodists will run it less than in this video to around 40 degrees to ensure most of the enzymes are kept in tact. They just use a little stick thermometer to monitor the temperature. Thanks for watching and happy blending!
hi Tommy. Congratulations for your shows. Really like vivamix and raw blend. But has a question. When you do a hot soup. What is it's temperature after it's 5 minute? Thank you.
mark di paolo it can vary depending on what temperature your liquid is and also what temperature the ingredients are when you add them. The soup will warm up roughly 10 degrees Celsius every minute. Thanks for watching and happy blending!
Hi John Lomma Select Variable 1. Turn the machine on and quickly increase the speed to 10, then override to High (have it on high speed within about 3 seconds). Is this in a Vitamix manual? The Vitamix is designed to create hot soup just via friction heat as stated in the video. To create a hot soup using cold water and ingredients, you can leave your Vitamix running anywhere between 3-7 minutes depending on how hot you're wanting your soup. If you're starting with hot water, you will only need to have your machine running from 1-2 minutes. Thanks for watching John and happy blending!
Hi SonriseRoofing, The soups usually make around 1 litre, which is roughly 4 servings. The link to the recipe is just under the video :) I hope this helps!
My vitamix 5300 started shaking at speed 2. When i brought it down to 1 even then it kept shaking- I made it run for a minute and it shut off. After an hour, when it switched on again th same thing happened. Any idea what's wrong or so I have a piece of junk?
Thank you for your comment Jaya, you need to have your machine on HIGH speed when doing soups. It will jump when on the low variable. Make sure you get it up onto the HIGH speed as soon as possible and use your tamper effectively. Thank you for watching and happy blending.
Hi Elli, they're always best eaten fresh but depending on the ingredients used, a vegetable soup should last about 3-4 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Thanks for watching and happy blending!

Tommy Nicholas - Raw Blend Any liquid or solid food over 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) can damage the cells and linings in your mouth and esophagus, may led to oral cancer or esophagus cancer. In normal healthy humans the average internal temperature is approx. 98.6 degrees F(approx. 37 degrees C). It's best try to eat foods or drink liquid with temperature close to normal body tempertaure, not too cold or too hot.

To create a hot soup using cold water and ingredients, you can leave your Vitamix running anywhere between 3-7 minutes depending on how hot you're wanting your soup.
If you're starting with hot water, you will only need to have your machine running from 1-2 minutes.
Thanks for watching John and happy blending!
This was great. I'm making this a second time right now.
Hi SonriseRoofing,
The soups usually make around 1 litre, which is roughly 4 servings.
The link to the recipe is just under the video :)
I hope this helps!
hi ..im planning to buy vitamix...☺
Perfect! Thanks for making it vegetarian!
Our pleasure Ro! Thank you for watching and happy blending! :)
you're the bomb!!!! would it be okay to prepare the portions of ingredients for individual soups and the freeze them for storage?
I don't see why that would be an issue! :) Let me know how you go and Happy Blending!
My vitamix 5300 started shaking at speed 2. When i brought it down to 1 even then it kept shaking- I made it run for a minute and it shut off. After an hour, when it switched on again th same thing happened. Any idea what's wrong or so I have a piece of junk?
Thank you for your comment Jaya, you need to have your machine on HIGH speed when doing soups. It will jump when on the low variable. Make sure you get it up onto the HIGH speed as soon as possible and use your tamper effectively. Thank you for watching and happy blending.
the vegetarian stock cube that used, is that GMO free?
+Monica Capuchino Certainly is Monica. We use MASSEL stock cubes. Thanks for watching and happy blending! :)
Do all models of Vitamix are capable of making hot soups?
They certainly are :)
Hi Tommy, thank you for this amazing recipe! For how long this soup can be stored in the fridge?
Thank you :)
Hi Elli, they're always best eaten fresh but depending on the ingredients used, a vegetable soup should last about 3-4 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Thanks for watching and happy blending!
question do you lose nutrients from heat with vitamix?
Kinks n-Curls Please note that the Vitamix Heats the soup through friction heat due to the speed of the blades and not a cooking element. You can have complete control over what temperature you "cook" your soup at. To qualify as a raw food you want to make sure you don’t heat it above 110-118 degrees F (43-47 degrees C), because above that temperature you start destroying the nutrients and enzymes of the food. You can use a thermometer to double check.

Any liquid or solid food over 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) can damage the cells and linings in your mouth and esophagus, may led to oral cancer or esophagus cancer.
In normal healthy humans the average internal temperature is approx. 98.6 degrees F(approx. 37 degrees C). It's best try to eat foods or drink liquid with temperature close to normal body tempertaure, not too cold or too hot.
