    Seriously, this is aggravating. I thought the whole thing about this blender was it cooked the soup for you. There is nothing specific to Blentec in this recipe except it seems so many recipes specify the wild side jar and the upscale button selections.

    Some of us just have the regular Blendtec…that doesn’t seem good enough for Blendtec because none of the recipes seem to be for the "Blendtec" I own.

    i remember seeing a demostration of tomato soup, where it was just garlic , whole tomato and basil, no sauce pan. Can you still do it that way? I thought that was blendtec "official" way of making tomato soup
