• Keep it warm: The soup stays warm in the jar for up to 2 hours after the program ends.

FAQ

Is this soup vegan?
Yes. It uses vegetable broth and coconut milk, with no dairy or meat. Skip the bacon when serving.

Can I use light coconut milk?
Yes, but the soup will be thinner. Use the cornstarch slurry above to thicken it.

Do I need to cook the squash first?
No. Everything goes in raw. The SMOOTH SOUP program heats and blends it until silky.
