Awhile back I was researching some ideas for my Creamy Pumpkin Soup when I came across a recipe that used an immersion blender to puree the soup. I was instantly intrigued by this little gadget and decided to throw it on my wedding registry. I am so glad I did!
An immersion blender is so easy to set up, use and clean. It is perfect for scrabbling eggs, making smoothies without taking out your big blender, or making homemade whipped cream. I’ve been using mine at least once a day!
I love avocado and use it often. Mashing it with a fork is a pain, though! I decided to try making homemade guacamole with my immersion blender. It was so much easier, and so good!
What Consistency to Make Your Guacamole?
Using an immersion blender to blend the avocado is so fast! You can create the texture you want by either blending it for a short time so you still have some avocado chunks, or blending it for a little longer to get a completely creamy texture.
If you like chunky guacamole: blend for a very short amount of time, hitting the blend button in short bursts so that some chunks of avocado still remain.
If you like smooth guacamole: blend for longer, holding down the blend button to completely break up the avocado.
How to serve this guacamole
Guacamole goes great with chips or you can use it to top homemade tacos! We had some friends over for a football game a few weeks ago and we served tacos. I made this guac and we used it as an appetizer with chips and to top our tacos. It was a hit!

Guacamole is the best! My husband absolutely hates guac that is chunky, it grosses him out lol. So, I have always used a food processor when I make salsa and guacamole. I don’t have an immersion blender, but I really need to get one. So convenient!
Jenna Owens (@aSavoryFeast) says
You would love an immersion blender! I left my guac a little chunky, but you could totally blend it longer so it’s smooth and creamy.

YUUUUMMMM! I love guacamole! Unfortunately, I’m the only one in our family that does. Maybe I can start training the one year-old to love it. 😉 Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Jenna Owens (@aSavoryFeast) says
Start early! Here’s hoping you’ll have another guacamole lover 🙂

How smart is this! I started seriously looking at immersion blenders after I had to puree soup in a regular blender in batches…messy and tedious! I see you have a Kitchenaid one. Is yours the basic one or one of the more powerful models?
Jenna Owens (@aSavoryFeast) says
I wanted one for the same reason! I just have the basic one that costs around $30. It’s fantastic!
