For some reason it took me a couple of minutes to stumble upon their recipes.

They were vegetarian, all very finely chopped so I am not sure what. I have some pork ones in my freezer. A Chinese woman makes them for this little bakery/cafe/store that a Korean- American woman her runs out of an industrial building. She does excellent lunches and it is doing pretty well. I went for lunch the day and noticed it was kind of like Cheers for middle aged ex-pat women.

This weeks soup: Moroccan carrot with falafel on pita breads. It was O.K. but I made something similar a while ago and haven't been able to find the recipe I thought it was a Cooking Light recipe be couldn't find it. THAT was the one I wanted.

Last night I made cream of mushroom. Very yummy. Shrooms and an onion sweated in a splash of white wine, simmered in chicken stock with one medium spud thrown in for starch. Buzzed in the blender and soupcon of cream. Adjusted seasonings to taste.

Tonight is White Bean Bisque with Garlic Chips, from a blog I just discovered, French Revolution Food. She also writes for Serious Eats and posted a recipe for Boeuf Aux Carotes (Beef Short Ribs Braised with Carrots) on SE today. It looks amazing, and lo and behold, SR's are on sale $2.99/lb so I'm making that tomorrow. DH is thrilled, to say the least ;)

I just started making soups in my new VitaMix :D . Anyone have advise? My first attempt turned out too thick and too aerated...I know those sound mutually exclusive, but that's the best way I can describe it.

I took a fresh raw foods class a couple years ago and they use the VitaMix for almost everything. That was my complaint with the VitaMix. Once things were pureed enough, they were to aerated, crating a texture issue for me. I don't know if thinning the mixture/soup with stock would knock down some of the air and loosen it too, but it would sure be worth a try.
