Working in batches, if needed, pour soup into a blender. Secure lid on blender, and remove center piece to allow steam to escape.

If you like Panera's broccoli cheddar soup, this blows the pants off it. I kept the soup vegetarian by using low-sodium vegetable stock rather than chicken stock, and made it healthier by using fat-free half-and-half.
