    This is another recipe that I found in the cookbook that came with my Vitamix. It's super easy to put together, and turned out really well! We seasoned it up with salt and a good amount of pepper at the end, and it made it even better. This is a great low-maintenance recipe that will definitely be a repeat for busy weeknights. I also think I can add a few things to it to make it taste even better, but this is a great start. I served it with the remaining Avocado Egg Rolls with Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce. Yum!

    2 tablespoons large shallot or small onion, chopped

    1. Cook potatoes, peas, and shallot with 2 cups (480 ml) of broth in a saucepan until the potatoes are tender.

    2. Place cooked ingredients, remaining broth, and lemon peel into the Vitamix container and secure lid.
