Remove soup from heat and purée it in a blender, working in batches if necessary. Return soup to the pot and adjust consistency, if necessary, by adding more liquid.

Ideal for pureeing soups, an immersion blender (also known as a stick blender) is equipped with a blade that can be lowered directly into a pot filled with liquid and solid ingredients. This allows you to puree an entire batch of soup at once.

For soups and other hot foods, be sure to carefully allow steam to escape the blender jug by cracking the lid slightly ajar after blending. During blending, you can crack the inner lid (where you can add ingredients during blending) while running so that steam can escape. Make sure the lid is on tight.

Blenders are ideal for making icy drinks, whipping up smoothies, and crushing ice. And when it comes to puréeing, blenders are usually better than food processors. The best blenders ace our tests for making icy drinks, crushing ice, and puréeing.

The most straightforward way to thicken soup is to puree the vegetables. Starchy vegetables in particular offer the most creaminess.

Chop up larger pieces of food into smaller pieces, and place them in a blender or food processor. You may need to add liquid such as juice or broth to get the right thickness. Adding food or liquid slowly into the blender or food processor will help you get to the right texture. If the puree is too thin, add more food.

Add Flour Or Cornstarch

You can thicken soup by adding flour, cornstarch, or another starchy substitute. For the best results, never add flour or cornstarch directly to your soup. If you do, it will clump up on top. Instead, ladle a small amount of broth into a separate bowl and let it cool.

Add broth (should be warm but not boiling hot) along with ingredients you'll be using for your soup, like the thawed peas, green onion, salt, pepper and avocado into your blender's jar. Secure the lid, and start blending slowly, gradually increasing the speed. Blend for about 5 minutes.

Puree (say "pyuh-RAY") is a way to change the texture of solid food so that it is smooth with no lumps and has a texture like pudding. You can puree food in a blender or food processor. Pureed foods are important if you have trouble chewing or swallowing.

When blending hot liquids or ingredients, the Ingredient-measuring Cap should remain in place over the lid opening. As it's vented, the steam will be able to escape. Always blend hot liquids using the Low speed or Pulse setting and then increase the speed if necessary. Cool hot foods, if possible, before blending.
