Help! Why Does Soup Explode Out of My Blender? Good Questions

Q: I grew up in a household that never used a blender and used one for the very first time in my 22 years of life at my boyfriend’s house a few weeks ago. I blew the lid off and sprayed tomato soup all over the ceiling (and the toaster oven, and the mixer, and the cabinets, and my brand new sweater, and…)

I faced my fears again last week with black bean soup, thinking that I needed to put less in the blender because it was hot. I let my boyfriend push the pulse button so I could not be blamed again for the mess, but it still rocketed toward the ceiling.

What am I doing wrong? Any tips on using a blender spray-free? Thanks!
