A Good Soup Kettle - though I did find it made a much more flavoursome soup, if I stir-fried the base veggies first, before adding the rest - and you DO have to cook any meat you might be adding, too, before starting.You also have to be careful not to reheat your soup in the kettle once it's cooked, as you'll end up with burnt bits on the base, that are a pi to clean!All-in-all, it wasn't the 'easy-to-put-everything-in-and-leave-it' kettle I'd thought it would be, but that method does make a decent base for soup, so I guess it's worth the while.
katythenightowlreally easy to use - place ingredients in and push the button and 21 minutes later provides lovely soupnot too large and very easy to clean
billbong23Just what the doctor ordered,put your ingredients in and it does the rest for you.
dmc1963bkYou need to fit a liner to make it easier to clean its a bigger to miss the electrics
chriskirky16I am very happy with this soup maker quick and easy to make soup
allotron-5This had arrived when I got home from work. Threw in a bag of prepared chopped casserole veg, some chopped onions and a few extra sliced carrots, added some stock up to the max level....20 mins later I’m eating delicious soup. What’s not to like? Easy! Recommended.
karen_milligangreat gadget for the kitchen making soup easy
allhvtI could never understand the point of a soup maker when you could just use a saucepan !but since visiting a friend who made me soup for lunch in one I literally went home and ordered it immediately.. I now made soup in it every day .. also great for making fresh tomato sauce for pasta. I truly love the ease of it.. 700 gsm veg .. a stock pot and fill with water up to the level and 21 mins later beautiful fresh, smooth soup !!! ... ps. wash it straight away and it's easy to clean
gucciladyukEasy to use, excellent value for price paid.
deerjohn29Makes lovely soups quick and easy, blends well
ltem2487Relatively cheap takes no more space than a kettle and works well
apid7138Found it to be easy to use and takes little time to cook would recommend.
cassiehodgsonI’m of that age where I find buying kitchen gadgets exciting (yes I know that’s pretty sad but whatever...) but I handn’t considered a soup maker until one of my wife’s friends recommended one to her. We are starting the new year health kick so this arrives in our kitchen with perfect timing. I’ve used it three times already and I am very impressed with the outcome. It could not be simpler to use, chuck in the ingredients, turn it on and wait around 20 minutes and you get perfect hot soup at the end. The big supermarkets all have “soup packs” in at the moment, Tesco has ones which are actually the right size/weight for this maker (around 700g) so you literally empty the bag in, add water and two stock cubes and job done.Cleaning is not the hardest but you really have to be careful with the electrical contacts (but no more so than a plug-in kettle - this is essentially a large kettle with a built in blender). There’s some real paranoia on some of the reviews over the electrical contacts, they really aren’t that scary. The contacts which join the blender to the main body are protected with little rubber caps and the lower “kettle lead” socket is as I said above no different to a kettle. To wash mine I’ve just been filling it with hot water and a little washing up liquid, leaving it for 10 minutes then wiping with a sponge scoured, rinsing and drying - it’s not that hard (but granted is more difficult than making the soup ironically).

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made and it is a fabulous price.Many people say that it isn’t worth it, but I can assure you it is.To make soup traditionally you need to chop the veg quite small, you need to boil and then simmer, and then you need to blend.To make soup in this you simply rough chop the veg and add water and stock. Then you select smooth for blended soup or chunky if you want it unblended. (If you select chunky you can blend it to your own desired thickness at the end using the manual blend button). Once you’ve added the ingredients you press smooth or chunky and go. 21 mins later for smooth and 28 mins later for chunky you have perfect soup. It’s a powerful blender so if you want it just a bit blended you literally need to press it for a second.It’s a doddle to clean as well, it’s really a perfect kitchen device.I can’t recommend this enough while it is this price. If you make soup, you want this.

Very easy to use and clean. Follow the recipe to get used to it and then make up your own. Easy!
terrbon-7This soupmaker is brilliant. Had nothing but success. My favourite Austrian resteraunt do a sublime sausage and bean soup, at £8 a serving it's expensive, made 2 batches of it in this soupmaker so already in 2 weeks it's almost paid for itself.Brocolli and Stilton soup made smooth is like nectar administered by angelsTomato and Red Pepper made smooth is way better than shop bought and near zero calories.Chunky Leek and Potato was perfect.Going soup making crazy.One warning, first time you make a smooth soup, the blender is incredibly loud - think hammer drill , you get accustomed to it !Update Jan 16th 2019. Made Veg Curry soup, freaking awesome, 2 chopped onions, 2 chopped peppers, 1 sweet potato cut into 1cm cubes, 400g chopped tomatoes, 400 ml veg stock, 3 generous tbsps of medium curry powder, 1 bag of spinach, salt to taste. Cook on chunky. It's what your tastebuds are for, add some cooked chicken in the end if need be. Even better , dunk a bhaji in it.
