Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

I’ve got a soup maker and think it’s great. I’d never have made as much soup if I didn’t have it. It makes quite a few portions.

Need to dust it off as it’s getting to that time of year again.

I have a soup maker and it gets plenty of use. It's this one: argos.co.uk

It's basically a kettle with a blender blade in the lid.

Smooth soup in 20 minutes, chunky in 25 (and you can blitz it after).

I could quite easily make soup on the hob but the benefit of this thing is that you set it and walk away -- ideal for a run, prep it before, set it after, and it does while I'm in the shower and needs no supervision.

Any leftovers get scooped into it, add a stock cube and water, handful of lentils if I think it might be a bit thin, and done.

Can be a bit awkward to clean if you let deposits dry on the blender lid element, so just rinse it quickly under the tap before you sit down to eat. And I find that chopping up the ingredients small and zapping them in microwave in advance to soften them up helps (eg, fibrous broccoli stalks, which I used to bin).

If I were to buy again I'd probably get one that sautes, but that too can be gotten around -- when frying or traybaking for other stuff I some add some extra with the soup maker in mind.

It is a bit small, makes two greedy or three modest portions. Ideal for me as a single bloke.

You can buy that one direct from Morphy Richards with free delivery. morphyrichards.co.uk
Am softening to their advantages but given think large batches at the weekend and half frozen works better for me.

And it's £15 cheaper if you factor in free delivery. For £40 you can't really go wrong.

I also have an electric pressure cooker which is good for batch cooking. No whizzer in it of course but I can use the soupie for that.

About This Thread

Maintained by EvilPixie
It’s got to that time of the year when soup is king!

Last winter I was wfh and happily heated up soup knowing that no one would know if I was late back to work (not that I took breaks anyway!).

Now I’m back in the office I’m reluctant to use the tiny kitchen as it’s well used and little cleaned. So thought I’d dig out my food flask and take hot soup/ food in with me. This also allows warm food post lunchtime walk or run.

Which leads me to ….. soup makers.

To buy or not ...
