Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 If you're planning on leaving your broccoli chunky, I think I'd steam it for a few minutes beforehand. Soup-making question I enjoy making soups/savory smoothies in the Vita-mix, but I'm curious about a technique for soup: I'm wondering if I add boiling water to the container with raw broccoli, would it cook the broccoli thoroughly, or would the broccoli still be a little toothsome?

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 If I were making a pureed soup, though, would it " cook " the broccoli (make it smooth)? What about vegetables like carrots? I know I can experiment, but I thought I'd check with the experts here! :-) -Amber > > If you're planning on leaving your broccoli chunky, I think I'd steam it for a few minutes beforehand. > > > > > Soup-making question > > ?

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Oh, I think you'd be fine leaving it raw in that case. You could try it both ways and see which you prefer; I can pretty much guarantee that neither would be inedible. Soup-making question > > ?

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Broccoli soup is my daughter's all time favorite, and we have tried it several ways. You can cook the broccoli perfectly by throwing some hot stock and putting the VM lid on for a few minutes before you buzz it. If we are particularly lazy, which we usually are, we heat the stock by running it on high in the VM, throw in the broc, then just leave the lid on for 5 minutes or so before we buzz it. Comes out perfectly every time. > & gt; > & gt; If you're planning on leaving your broccoli chunky, I think I'd steam it for a few minutes beforehand. > & gt; > & gt; > & gt; > & gt; > & gt; Soup-making question > & gt; > & gt; ?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I am taking my vitamix to NC for my mom this weekend. Due to radiation damage she can no longer eat by mouth. She puts endure in a feeding tube. I am excited that she will be able to add fruits and veggies now. We have to be careful so the tube doesn't get clogged. I haven't used my vitamix to its full potential, only making smoothies and a soup or two.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Deb, the sad part is, it is "food" like this that likely led to your mom's cancer in the first place. We are blindly taught from the word go that if it is on a grocery store shelf, it is perfectly safe to eat. We are NOT taught to read labels or question ingredients. It wasn't until I was extremely sick and already crippled that I started questioning just what in the hell I had been pumping into my body over the years. When I started reading (and researching) what is in our "food" supply, I was SHOCKED at the waste products that are turned into ingredients! Please don't feel guilty about this. You can't do better until you KNOW better. Now that you do, you can start giving your mom whole food nutrition.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 No problem - She was really seeking out health - we just had barely scratched the surface. How I researched when it was found she had pancreatic cancer. At that point, she was into drinking lots of water to get rid of the toxins. Water's good - but hardly enough. And we did Essiac tea. I think that because it was pancreatic cancer, and everything we read was "no cure" - we didn't try too hard. If I had found Gerson's materials during my research - we'd have done it. I know she'd have gone for it. But that was a long time ago now. She passed away in '97. I'm just on a big Pharma rant recently, after watching Food Matters, The Gerson Miracle, and other movies - and then too see what was in Ensure. Wow. It is disgusting, really.She was a researcher - but didn't have the internet. We have a lot to be thankful for. So much more info out there now.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 It is scary when we realize that pharma makes things WORSE, not better. I don't know ONE single person who has ever been "cured" by a pill. When I was first diagnosed with lupus, I was on 17 different meds-each one made to counteract a side effect from the previous one. Those meds in turn caused extreme osteoporosis, and eventually leukemia. It wasn't until I PERSONALLY took charge of my health that I realized what a shocking mess the food and pharma industries are. Happy to report it wasn't too late though! Here I am, able to spout off about it, despite the docs giving up on me years ago!!
