Notes

Purëeing hot soup in a blender requires a few safety guidelines to avoid burning yourself. Remove the plug in the blender lid and use a thick kitchen cloth to hold the lid and cover the hole. This will let the steam escape, so the soup won’t explode. Also, work in small batches, so the amount does not pulse up too high when blending.
