With the heat upon us (a little more so for us in Arizona…), it’s time to put the oven in hibernation and call upon the blender.  I bet you didn’t realize how easy it is to make super simple, delicious, ultra-healthy cuisine in your blender and keep you cool all at the same time. One of my favs is this chilled, refreshing blender soup.
