I cannot recommend the Breville Sous Chef (16-cup) (Amazon Canada link) highly enough. It's is the best processor I've ever tested and I've tested plenty included the old standby Cuisinarts and the less than impressive KitchenAids. Worth the price when you consider it has ALL the extra blades included. Beyond the cheese grating question, it has the best design feature ever found on a processor... no blade spindle hole. The whole bowl is sealed. Zero leaks. No blade juggling so half your salsa doesn't leak through. Brilliant. It's the sort of processor that you WANT to keep on the counter all the time. Really changed my cooking processes for the better. Word of caution though, the popularity of the bigger model spawned a smaller (lower power) model and I don't know that it's as good as its bigger brother. Might be but I've never used it myself.
This sums it up:

Beautiful, quality construction, powerful processing, all metal construction, and QUIET!
I'd probably return it and invest the $200 into a food processor. I have this big bad boy. https://www.amazon.com/Breville-BFP800XL-Processor-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005I6ZKCE
If you can get that at Bed Bath and Beyond, they should let you use the 20% off coupon even though it says Breville is excluded.
KitchenAid and Cuisinart also make decent food processors.
For soup, an immersion blender is probably a better tool (I'd also recommend Breville, although I have KitchenAid). At least with Vitamix, the sound of the motor for 5 mins, or however long it needs can be intense.
