Used my Vita mix to make Soup

Recently Ive been using my VitaMix for Smoothies and Once a week I use my slow cooker to make Soup for the week. Some times we get tired of the soup by Thurs. so we freeze what ever is left over in Bags and save it for another Day.  Im always amazed about what my wife says " Is so Flavorful"  and usually pretty healthy. Broccoli, Ham, and Cheese Soup for the Cold Winters. Kids LOVE IT!
