If You Want to Cook Healthy, These Kitchen Items Are a Must

If you're a creamy-soup-lover, this little gadget ($60) enables you to puree your recipe right in the pot, which is so much easier (and safer!) than pouring small patches of boiling hot soup into your blender or food processor. This means you can throw in tons of healthy ingredients like canned beans, kale, and silken tofu, and all you'll taste is the delightful smooth texture. It can also be used to quickly mash potatoes or bananas for bread, or to chop ingredients for recipes such as veggies or nuts.
