Spicy Pumpkin Soup and KenmorePro Blender Giveaway

I like using the high powered KenmorePro Heavy Duty Professional Blender to make both cold and hot recipes, as it is versatile. This blender is special because we can prepare warm soups within a few minutes by simply adding the ingredients, puréeing it and blending it on maximum speed for 5 minutes until it starts to steam. We can also use it to make smoothies, soups, sauces, and for other meal prep. 

VH sauce soup and stew

I got a chance to taste and make meals using the tandoori and vindaloo VH sauce. We loved the taste, both children and adults will enjoy. It takes less time and it is easy to prepare meals using these sauces, which is useful during busy schedules. All ingredients in the sauce are vegetarian. There are many varieties of Asian inspired VH sauces to make different types of meals. We can also use these sauces in a variety of different ways. 

The VH Tandoori sauce gives a delicious sweet smoky flavour to the dish. Following the instruction on the bottle, I combined the sauce with yogurt and marinated the chicken. With the chicken I prepared delicious tandoori chicken wraps. 

The VH vindaloo sauce is delicious with meats and in vegetable stir fries, curries and soups. This quick soup made with vindaloo sauce is perfect for supper when it is served with bread.
