Why I Love My Immersion Blender

I have used my hand held immersion blender no-less than 5 times this week, which has led me to the distinct belief that everyone should own one of these little tools.  

I somehow survived 8 years of marriage/cooking/etc. without one.  And really, I didn't even know what one was until I used one at my friend Hillary's house when we made honey plum jam last summer.  I instantly fell in love.

What do you use one for?  Well.  Do you ever make soups that need to be blended at the end, like tomato soup or broccoli cheese soup?  Instead of pouring your soup into a blender and making a huge mess (please tell me I'm not the only one), you can just stick your immersion blender into the pot and blend away!  It works soooo well!  

I've used mine this week to make homemade fruit snacks, broccoli cheese soup, and laundry soap.  

This Cuisinart 2-Speed Immersion Hand Blender, Brushed Chrome is on Amazon right now and is on sale from $65 down to $32!  Plus, it qualifies for free prime shipping, so if you already have prime, you'll get it shipped free (I highly recommend prime...we have it and use it all the time)!  I LOVE the lime green color that they have.  I actually have a light blue one.  

If you have an immersion blender, what do you use it for?  Do you have an unique uses you can share with us?  Oh, and what color is yours...that's my favorite question ;)
