The soup looks good, but like the other poster said, it's just something about corn that isn't right. I also want to say just because something is organic it doesn't mean it's healthy. Such as the tortilla chips.You also put sea salt which is fine, then you added "garlic SALT" that's just more salt. I would have just used garlic powder and stuck to the sea salt. If you wanted it a bit saltier just add more sea salt.
The carotenoids in carrots are more bioavailable from cooked carrots than they are from raw ones. You can get lycopene, the carotenoid pigment that protects against prostate cancer, only from cooked tomatoes, not from raw ones.Celery produces psoralens, compounds that sensitize the skin to the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. The toxin is broken down by cooking.
sorry but you can get lycopene from raw tomatoes. It is more concetrated in cooked/ sun dried/ tomato paste because there is a lot of water loss. In cooking around 40 percent of the lycopene is destroyed as well. So there is less lycopene to absorb. Beside all this, watermelon has more lycopene than tomatos anyway, so just eat other foods like watermelon as well if you would like to stay raw.
@egbach420 In the Apr 2003 Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry tomato samples were heated to 190.4 Fahrenheit for 2 minutes, a quarter-hour and a half-hour. The research revealed that the beneficial trans-lycopene content of the cooked tomatoes increased by 54, 171 and 164 percent, respectively. Levels of cis -lycopene (which the body easily absorbs) rose by 6, 17 and 35 percent, respectively; and antioxidant levels in the heated tomatoes increased by 28, 34 and 62 percent, respectively.
either way, greater nutrient density does not necessarily equate to better for your body. I am curious though, link to study? I want to look into it. I'm also curious who funded the study. There was fairly recently a study that came out in a medical journal saying pasteurized chocolate milk is an ideal post workout beverage. Anyone who thinks that is being fooled! Payed for by the dairy industry.
@egbach420 Google Dr. Rui Hai Liu "Thermal Processing Enhances the Nutritional Value of Tomatoes by Increasing Total Antioxidant Activity" and E. Sahlin "Investigation of the antioxidant properties of tomatoes after processing" Research said fat free chocolate milk was better than Gatorade type drinks at helping to rebuild and refuel muscles after exercise due to it's protein and carbohydrates. The study says if it's a choice between Gatorade and Low Fat Chocolate milk, pick the milk.
Thanks for sharing. Everything looks great except the corn. I don't know why but my body has proven time and time again that it has no use for the stuff.
You just kept on adding crap to it. Defeats the purpose don't you think? So are you any healthier in 2012? I doubt it.

Would it be as good idea to steam the vegetables so they're hot before you blend them?

I can't comment on the soup because I was too busy getting motion sickness from the shaky video... TRIPOD please.

too much salt, both straight and in all the additives. also, it's too sharp a taste from hard spices.
i would make it more palatable by adding one or two small boiled potatoes and eggs.
other than that, reasonably well done puree soop.

When you pour it into a serving bowl, add sliced avocado. Makes it much better!
