broccoli cheddar soup

an open letter to the magic bullet:

dear magic bullet (aka:amazing bullet),

although your product is touted as being "magic" and "amazing" when it comes to making soup, i beg to differ.

recently, i wanted to make one of my favourite soup recipes to celebrate the fall season: broccoli cheddar soup.

after simmering an onion, broccoli, chicken broth, and rice, i added a little milk in order to prepare the broth for blending.

i poured the mixture into the tall cup, and proceeded to pulse pulse pulse.

everything seemed to be going well, until i tried to remove the blade. it was stuck. for nearly 30 minutes i was unable to unscrew the base from the cup. only after placing the cup in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes was i able to separate the two pieces. this is unacceptable.

at this point, i took out my trusty blender which was always a loyal, trustworthy appliance for making soup.

unfortunately, i don't believe that i'll be using said bullet to make soup ever again. perhaps you should remove these erroneous tips for making soup from your infomercial as soon as possible.

sincerely,

karmen

p.s. i suffered wrist and forearm strain from trying to unscrew the two pieces.
