My Hand Me Down Vita-Mix

My grandparents bought a Vita-Mix in the 80's and I think I saw them use it a couple of times. Of course nobody in my family ever gives anything away so they still have it but now it's home is in my mother's house and as of this weekend it has come to live with me for a while.
I found a recipe to make an avocado soup with all kinds of other veggies in it. It sounded pretty good but keep in mind you can't really heat up the mixture like you have learned to do your whole life. We kept an opened mind as we tried our soup last night....and it was pretty bad! Maybe I made it wrong but it was really frothy. So we had as much as we could handle before we gagged and made a peach spinach smoothie for dinner instead. I don't think we will ever forget that soup for as long as we live; it made quite an impression!
