insulation covering soffit vents

I'm not a builder or anything like that BUT.

When they blew the insulation in did they put things that keep the soffit vents from being covered. When you're in your attic you should be able to see them. They're nailed or glued right to the underside of your roof and probably go about 1 foot above your insulation. If you can't see, is the insulation blown right to the edge of the attic? That may be your problem. You don't have the air circulation that you need. You have the ridge vent, that is where the warm air leaves. The cold air needs to come in from below. Check it out.
