Harvest Cheddar Soup

Wow, just made the Vitamix recipie "Harvest Cheddar Soup." If there was ever a reason to justify spending $500 on a blender, this soup is it!

So here's the basic recipe... All you do is put all this stuff in the Vitamix & hit blend for 5 minutes. It will come out piping hot! Wait until its all blended to add the cheese. Then blend with the cheese for about 20 seconds.

• 2 Cups FF Chicken Broth
• 2 Tbsp White Wine (don't let the bottle go to waste though)
• 1/2 Med Onion (Recipe called for 1/4, but 1/2 is better...it also called for celery but the wife said no to that!)
• 2 Granny Smith Apples
• 2 medium Russet Potatoes (though I used 3 Red Skin)
• 1/8 tsp thyme
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup shredded, reduced fat, Sargento cheddar cheese
