Soup Maker

[Chickadee]

Hi All

Am thinking of getting one of these but wanted to ask if anyone has one.
If so what make do you have and do you use it?

Thanks all

My soup maker is called a saucepan and a liquidiser - no fancy equipment needed to clutter up the work surface!

I agree with diddlydo. Can't see any advantage in using a soupmaker.

I agree with diddlydo, I was given a soup maker as a gift last year, its not as good as a saucepan and a liquidiser! primarily because its fussy to clean and takes up a lot of room.

Well I will have to disagree with the previous posters and say that i love my soup maker!!

I haven't had it very long but it is fab, chuck the ingredients in, start the timer, fresh hot soup 21 mins later.

When I use a saucepan and blender, I get it everywhere with a stck blender and there is too much washing up with the other kind.

I've got one next to the breadmaker and food processor behind the juicer and the thing that makes vegetables into long spiral strips - I haven't really but I think you get my drift

I can only repeat other postings. My soupmaker, also, is a saucepan and a blender/liquidiser. Don't waste your money on fancy gadgets. They don't do the job any better. Enjoy your soup ! It's getting in to Soup weather. I made a big pot of mushroom yesterday and the freezer is now full of it.

I made Mulligatawny and also Kidney soup. I only use a large saucepan and a stick blender by Kenwood.

Thanks for all your answers guys.

I sometimes use my slow cooker for making soup. The other day did parsnips, apple and onion with stock - hey presto 6 hours later I had soup (and I used hand blender). Always have a hand blender. Before I did I tipped hot soup into a blender and badly burnt my hand!

chickadee, there are several questions in the related threads at the bottom of the page.

I would say it is in overwhelming support of the saucepan and hand blender approach. Pieces of kit that you are almost certainly half way there with if not fully kitted out already!
