This soup requires blending in a food processor. Since I don't have one, I figured I'd just do it in the blender. Had I known that blending a hot liquid causes it to explode out of the blender, I might have rethought the idea. If you're going to blend the soup with a blender, try cooling it first & save yourself some cleanup!
