YOu know something we eat in Sweden, which is really nice actually. May sound wierd. But we do spinach soup almost like this, but usally with frozen spinash hehe, and then you have boiled eggs in. So you instead of sourcream you serve it with an boiled egg cut in half, in the soup. It's really good actually :)

When buying something, my first place to look is Consumer Reports' Website.

I do like to buy from Amazon for convenience and is also a great place to look at people's ratings.

The immersion blend is the 1st one I have had, it is a Waring brand and the first time I have used it was in this video, it did blend the soup in 3 minutes.

Toasters, not really something that I use very much, I apologize.

You may ask anything, thanks!

I am loyal to, nutritionally dependent on spinach and on Swiss chard steamed just to wilt, served hot with a splash of apple cider vinegar. Good man, your Chard and Spinach Soup is an exotic departure, but I am determined to taste it. And will do.

But first, I tend to kill toasters and blenders. It just happens. Ready to try a new blender, a hand version. Any guidelines? I'm looking for an expensive, most likely, blender well-designed for a decade of hard labor.

What say ye, Michael?
