I can make perfect soup in a large saucepan .
Does a soup maker chop and sweat off the vegetables, if not what is the benefit of one.
The best aid to making soup is the freshest vegetables organic if possible.
Likewise bread makers, do they make bread sticks and bread rolls as well as square loaves if not what is the point of them cluttering up the kitchen .
I hate kitchen clutter, so I keep all of my small appliances (with the exception of the toaster, toaster oven and microwave, of course) in my storage room sitting neatly on shelves. I've got a really nice electric skillet, four crockpots, a rice steamer, a bread machine (that I rarely ever use) 2 food processors, several sandwich makers, a blender, a griddle, a deep fryer and a panini press. Oh and a quesadilla maker.
I think that's all of it, but to be sure, I'd have to go look
I'm a small appliance junkie, but truthfully, of all those things, I use the bread machine the least. As for soup, I like taking my time with it. Good soup needs time. I love peeling and chopping all the vegetables and adding the herbs and letting it all simmer slowly on the stove for a couple of hours and smelling that aroma that fill the house.
If I want fast soup, I'll pop open a tin.
