Hoff Thoughts: I love this electric kettle by Bonavita; although the minimum temp is 140 degrees and to keep it raw you don't want to go above 118 (depending on your source).  But, it heats up so fast, that I can just stop it once it reaches the temperature that I want.

Hoff’s Raw Butternut Squash Soup

Hoff’s Raw Butternut Squash Soup

Serves: 2
meat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free, soy-free, gluten-free

Ingredients:

• 3 cups chopped Butternut Squash
• 3 cups Water
• 1 tsp. Cumin
• 1 tsp. Onion Powder
• 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp. Sea Salt

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a Vitamix & blend on high for 3-4 minutes
2. Serve immediately

Hoff Thoughts: When eating raw, food should not exceed 118 degrees.  A Vitamix "should" raise the temperature of food 10 degrees every minute it is run. However, my Vitamix runs hotter; it's a good practice to use a meat thermometer to test how hot this soup gets based on how long you run your machine.  Three minutes for me = 115 degrees.
