34 Blended Soups That Will Change Your Mind About Blended Soup

The poor blended soup…

It doesn’t get nearly the credit it deserves.

Perhaps our society has eaten too many cans of watered-down tomato soup so our definition of a “blended soup” is slightly skewed? If so, we are greatly mistaken.

A blended soup is quite literally a blank canvas.

Any type of homemade bone broth can serve as its base. Any number of fresh or frozen vegetables can be added in, including the ones your child turns his nose up at when it sits in front of him on a plate. Milk or cream — again, any type! — can be stirred in for creaminess. And fresh herbs, spices, and seasonings? That’s where things get really magical.

Blended soups have the ability to give you a completely custom meal, while nourishing your soul and healing your body at the same time.

Blended soups are also, admittedly, one of the very best ways to get our families to eat more veggies — because who can say ‘no’ to broccoli when it’s blended with heavy cream and topped with raw cheddar???

They can be a meal unto themselves or a whole food soup added to a holiday meal. Yes, blended soups deserve much more credit than we’ve given them.

So this post is dedicated to illuminating the beauty, nourishment, and flavor of blended soups!

What If Blended Soup Isn’t Enough?

Not to sound discriminating, but this is a common complaint from men who need something heartier and more filling than blended soup. Truth be told, many ladies (including myself!) also may feel that blended soups lack the protein or texture we crave — and may leave us feeling dissatisfied.

This problem is easily fixed! Here are some ideas to take your blended soups up a notch and (hopefully!) leave everyone satisfied and smiling.

Toppings… Don’t let your soup go naked.

Toppings and blended soups are BFFs. They just need each other.

Toppings add texture and will take your blended soup up a notch (or 5). Don’t be afraid to be very generous with:

  • crispy bacon pieces, pancetta, or lardons
  • grated raw cheese
  • fresh Parmesan
  • roughly chopped herbs
  • sauteed mushrooms
  • shredded chicken or beef (such as leftover roast)
  • crushed blue corn or sourdough tortilla chips
  • sourdough croutons
  • chopped crispy nuts or seeds
  • sliced or diced avocado
  • pico de gallo
  • chopped tomato and/or onion
  • pomegranate seeds
  • sun-dried tomatoes
  • roasted red pepper

Toppings also give you the opportunity to add fermented foods to your meal. After cooking and serving in bowls, try adding:

  • yogurt, sour cream, or creme fraiche
  • sauerkraut
  • pickled peppers
  • a drizzle of fermented mustard
  • kimchi
  • fermented salsa
  • shredded fermented carrots or beets

Finally, toppings and add-ins will take the flavor of your soup to the next level. What might have been bland becomes brilliant by stirring in:

  • pesto
  • herbed olive oil or butter
  • a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime
  • toasted nori or seaweed
  • Bleu cheese or Feta cheese crumbles
  • fresh parsley, dill, cilantro, rosemary, thyme, or mint
  • tapenade
  • roasted garlic
  • spicy honey
  • fried sage leaves
  • a poached or soft-boiled egg
  • freshly ground pepper and, of course, quality salt

And if by some chance you don’t see even 1 recipe here that you’d like to try, you can create your own blended soup using this formula –> Anatomy Of A Blended Soup.

How do you feel about these nourishing blended soups? Which recipe will you try first?

    Thank you, Lindsey, for putting together this article. As a way of getting more vegetables, I’ve been working on incorporating a cup of blended soup as part of breakfast. I’ll fill my stockpot about halfway with whatever veggies and a quart of stock. With this as a thick base that might need to be thinned a little, I can have a ‘different’ soup every day just by varying the seasonings and toppings and liquid additions as I reheat it. But I do have to admit, I’ve been finding myself going for the same veggies every time, so I’ve been looking to make some blended soups that actually follow a recipe. This will force me to consider vegetables I might not otherwise look at for my ‘throw it all together’ soups. This article is very timely.

    The first recipe listed, eggplant and tomato, might be one of the first recipes I try. Not sure if I even like eggplant, but this sounds like an intriguing way to find out (and I haven’t actually looked at the recipe itself; I’m going just by the title!).

    Really excited I found this . I have gastroparesis. Even though I can’t have all these or all the ingredients. It inspired me and gives me something to work with . Thank you for the post

    I love these! I, like another commenter said, have Gastroparesis, and to avoid a more permanent feeding tube, am looking for more recipes that are blended to give my digestive system some time to rest and recover. I am curious, could these be made with a vegetable stock over the Bone Broths? I cannot use bone Broths as the amount of collagen is just too much for me, causes headaches and a hungover feeling the next day (and I love Pho), but my body already produces too much collagen from an autoimmune disorder I have. This list is exactly what I’m looking for, hoping I can make them into frozen soup packs like I do my smoothies. A great way to simplify my life, and allow me to keep some spoons with the ease of recipes like these.

    I’ve gotten in the habit of having blended soup on hand every day. I start by simmering assorted veggies on the stove top with the appropriate seasoning. When the veggies are tender, I let my Vitamix reduce half to two thirds to a thick creamy base. With the right proportion of veggies and bone broth you don’t need milk or cream. Set that aside and pulse the rest of the veggies just until they’re finely chopped and combine everything. I like my “cream” soups to have some texture, hence the finely chopped ingredients. Choose a small amount of some protein add-in at serving time if you’re an aspiring pegan like me.

    I like my vegetables but even I’m surprised at how much produce I’m putting down the hatch these days.

    Thank you for these recipes. My daughter is having dental surgery and will be on a full liquid diet for two weeks. These recipes will allow me to prepare some nutritious soups ahead of time so she’ll have time to concentrate on herself.
