This is explained earlier in the thread.
If you;re making soup properly then the first thing you do is fry off any onions and vegetables which creates the deepr caramelised flavours. For example for parsnip soup you might first fry off (saute) some onions, garlic, celery and some spices.
If I make butternut squash soup then I first fry off onions, garlic, celery, potatoes and the squash so it's a little browned.
I'm guessing all you're doing with the machine is just boiling veg in water which is quite a bland way of cooking TBH.
It's all about the flavour and in soups that comes from the sauteing the ingredients.
