For Blendtec: Blend on High Speed. Blend for about 30 seconds if potatoes are hot and 4-6 minutes if cold, until steam escapes the lid.
For Vitamix: Start on Variable Speed 1. Turn the machine on and slowly increase to Variable Speed 10/High. Blend for about 30 seconds if potatoes are hot and 4-6 minutes if cold, until steam escapes the lid.
For thinner soup, add a few more splashes of the broth or any of the liquids.
Transfer the soup to a saucepan and simmer over low heat until ready to serve.
Serve with the avocado over the top.
Spice It Up! Make things extra spicy by adding a pinch of any of these: cayenne, ground turmeric, grated peeled fresh ginger, paprika, and/or ground cinnamon.
