This basic soup purée with Thermomix TM7 transforms mixed vegetables, olive oil and vegetable stock paste into a silky, velvety soup in one bowl.

About this recipe
Basic soup purée Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate foundation recipe for anyone searching for quick soup recipes with their all-in-one kitchen machine. Built around humble mixed vegetables, a splash of olive oil and a spoonful of vegetable stock paste, this purée proves that simple ingredients become something special with the right technique. The TM7 first sautés the vegetables in olive oil to develop deep, sweet flavour, then simmers everything gently with water and stock until tender, and finally blends the mixture at high speed into a velvety, restaurant-style purée — all in a single mixing bowl with no extra washing up. This soup works beautifully as a warming starter, a light lunch or a quick weeknight dinner, and it is the perfect blank canvas for seasonal vegetables: leeks and potatoes in winter, courgette and carrots in summer. Because the quantities are flexible, it is also a budget-friendly way to rescue wilting vegetables from the back of the fridge, making it a true everyday hero in the Thermomix kitchen.
Preparation tips
- Cut the mixed vegetables into roughly equal pieces before they go into the mixing bowl so they sauté and cook evenly in the olive oil, giving the final purée a consistently velvety texture without any stringy bits.
- Taste the soup after blending and adjust with vegetable stock paste or salt gradually; a little extra olive oil drizzled in at the end adds gloss and rounds out the flavour beautifully.
- This purée keeps well in the fridge for a few days and freezes in portions, so double the batch of mixed vegetables and stock paste for effortless weekday lunches or a quick base for sauces.
- For a kid-friendly version, favour sweeter vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin and sweet potato, and serve with a swirl of cream and crunchy croutons to make the silky texture more appealing to little ones.
Recipe variations
- Make it fully vegan by ensuring your vegetable stock paste is plant-based and finishing the creamy soup purée with a splash of oat cream or coconut milk instead of dairy for extra richness.
- For a seasonal autumn version, use pumpkin, carrots and leek as the mixed vegetables, add a pinch of nutmeg while sautéing, and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds for warmth and crunch.
