Place all ingredients for the soup base in the Vitamix, in the order listed. Blend the ingredients, starting with the lowest setting, and ramping up to the highest setting. Blend for 20 seconds or until smooth.
Pour the soup into a Dutch Oven and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. Add the chickpeas, kidney beans, corn, cheese and salt. Stir to combine. Simmer the soup until all ingredients are heated through.
