Congratulations CrystalWolf! What a fantastic gift to yourself. That is my planned present to myself when I eventually phase off. You should be so proud of yourself.
Thanks! You won't regret it if you get one. I was positively giddy while learning to use it.
Same with the tomato-basil soup but I'm not crazy about tomatoes.
I HATE tomato soup (always have, it's not just an IP thing). But I had some from my coach to try and I've been making it into a pizza crust. It actually tastes pretty amazing when you dress it as a pizza!

Wait, what - you can make it into pizza?? Please, please, please - share that recipe if you have it handy, thank you
My Vitamix and my stick blender are used daily.
Love me some Vitamix. I lusted after one starting in College. A few years ago I said, "self, you haven't been a broke college student for a long time, get yourself one!"

I used Finland Steve's dough recipe: "BREAD/ SANDWICHES/ TOSTADA (IP Soup/IP Potato Puree)
Ingredients:
Egg whites (beaten) from 2 large or 3 small eggs
1 package IP Soup (I have used Chicken, Leek, and Tomato. All were great)
1 tsp baking powder
Spices to taste (For example, thyme, pepper, garlic powder)
OPTIONAL: 1 tsp olive oil (I use this, but its not mandatory)
OPTIONAL: I use 1/4 to 1/2 packet of sweetener (Truvia/ Splenda) if I am using a large amount of dried herbs to cut the bitter aftertaste. However, I recommend NOT adding it the first time you make this.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200 C.
2. Beat egg whites (doesnt have to be stiff...just well mixed)
3. Add in IP Soup package and baking powder. mix until blended.
4. Add in spices to taste.
5. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
6. Using a spatula, scoop out the dough and spread onto the paper in a rectangle shape. (See picture) Should not be too thin.
I let this rise for about 5 minutes, but its not mandatory.
7. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until desired doneness.
Once the dough is baked... I then topped with mushrooms and spinach (1 cup total because I used about 1 cup "worth" of the sauce). Or any veggie really... I just like the mushroom/spinach combo mix. And baked a bit more to cook the veggies/make it crispy. I did top with 30g (a serving) of the Go-Veggie Mozza "cheese" but some people prefer not to.

Awesome - this is definitely on my "to make" list! Thanks for sharing!
