My Recipe:

I followed the recipe pretty closely, but did not add the dill weed or rosemary.  I also decided it tasted better when I added more shredded cheddar cheese and salt.  I also did not mix the bacon with the rest of the soup and chose to sprinkle it on top.

Overall, it was very easy and tasted great.  It also did not take very long to make.  It made about 4 cups of soup and I easily made two batches for my family.  I would recommend trying it with your Vitamix.
