Does size really matter ? Lol !
I have the Blentec , LOVE it ! Purchased at Costco nearly : years ago I guess . Regular " jar " .
No GMO please! I don’t think there is any non GMO soy in the USA. However, I love the beans. Carbs are important for healthy body functions.
No GMO or carbs, replace the water with real chicken broth, the carbs with cream, and add diced carrots and celery cooked in a healthy fat (like butter or coconut oil) along with the onions. That’s going to be the recipe I try. I know you folks at Blendtec are trying to please the low fat crowd, but you need to know that low fat is actually the unhealthy path and that consuming high quality fats including saturated fats is what’s best. It’s also what tastes the best and is the most satisfying. Thanks for giving us a quick way of assembling this delicious soup.
I look forward to trying this . I appreciate that it is low in calories and fat and contains beans which are a protein rich superfood (WebMD). GMO is not a concern because I only use organic beans such as Westbrae available at Whole Foods, Earthfare or your local COOP Market. Thank you. My one addition to this recipe would be celery seed.
4 cups in a quart.
