When it comes to making soups in a food processor, there are literally endless combinations. Plus, you can make them hot or cold. Anytime you’re feeling tired, having allergy issues, suffering from joint pain, or simply low on zest and zip, a bowl of healthy and tasty creamy soup can make you feel like a new you again.
Unfortunately, soups have got a bad rep for being time-consuming. This is where a quality food processor will come handy. Not only will it help you save your cooking time, but will also make your soup as nutritious as possible.
1. Creamy Nutty Butternut Squash Soup
Creamy butternut squash soup is such a warming and hearty soup perfect for both the frosty winter nights and the cool summer rainy days.
Butternut squash is a great source of free radical-scavenging vitamin C, potassium, fiber, protein, and immune-supportive and eye-friendly vitamin A, while walnuts are plentiful in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Add in an antioxidant packed ingredient like onion and you will get a bowl of a healing soup in a jiffy.
2. Creamy Vegan Broccoli Soup
Whether you’re vegan or just trying to reduce your meat consumption, this broccoli soup will definitely make you and your stomach happy.
Although the core recipe includes 12 ingredients (plus olive oil and salt), you can make your own tweaks to alter the texture and taste. It must be flavorful enough alone, particularly when you gently cook it, but I suggest adding one sweet potato for extra creaminess.

Potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, manganese, potassium, copper, phosphorus, pantothenic acid, niacin, and dietary fiber.

They’re fortified with nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, phytonutrients, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. Cucumber is an excellent source of molybdenum, vitamin K and the pantothenic acid, along with other nutrients. Combine those two potent ingredients and say goodbye to diseases.
