Can you make soups in a blender without cooking them first and then heat them up after blending?

I just wondered if this would be feasable because people blend soups after cooking them, which may lose some of the vitamins, i wondered if you could stick all your veg in a blender from fresh, puree it all, add your stock and then heat it up to eat? What do you think?

When making a margarita, is a blender a good substitute for a cocktail shaker?

I want to make a margarita at home, and I don’t have a shaker to make crushed ice. So, can a blender make crushed ice? If so, give me instructions on how to make it. Thank you.
