Vegetable Soup in a Food Processor

I experimented last night and made a super yummy vegetable soup that is super healthy too! Thought I'd post it for anyone that wants to try it.

Vegetable Soup in a Food Processor

1 large onion
1 Tbsp butter
1 whole green pepper
1-2 cloves garlic
1 handful fresh parsley
3 cups fresh spinach
5-6 whole carrots, peeled
1 large can diced tomatoes
1/2 fresh tomato
1 tsp celery salt or 2 stalks celery
1 Tbsp salt
3 1/2 cups vegetable stock
3 cups chicken stock
4-5 potatoes
1 can beans (I used white but you could use any kind)
Salt & Pepper to taste


Saute 1/4 onion in butter in deep soup pot on stove top. Add 1/2 cup vegetable stock to onions and bring to boil. In your food processor add all the fresh vegetables and canned tomatoes, except the potatoes and beans. Blend vegetables until all are blended together well...add salt and blend again. (You may have to do this in a couple of blending rounds depending on the size of your food processor.) Add vegetables and stocks to pot and bring to boil. Then allow to simmer on low/medium for 15 minutes. Add potatoes and beans and cook until potatoes are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
