It was almost £60 at Costco but costing up to £100 and more elsewhere! Ok, it’s not an essential requirement but my excuse... you only live once!!
I have carrots and coriander all ready to make some soup!
I’ll let you know the outcome!!
I've just made some carrot and coriander soup today - took me about 10 minutes to prepare - I just roughly slice onion, garlic and carrots, sauté them in a little oil, then mix in ground coriander before adding veg stock.
Simmering takes about 30 minutes, then a quick whizz with a stick blender and it's ready for serving with a swirl of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of coriander leaves.

Re: I Might Buy A Soup Maker!
I bought my soup maker when they very first came out. Its a Morphy Richards one, and to be honest, I wouldn't be without it.It will make me smooth or chunky soup.
Stick everything you need in there, put the lid on, set the timer and 20 minutes later its done.
I can't remember the last time I bought a tin of soup.
And the only thing you have to wash is the jug maker

Re: I Might Buy A Soup Maker!
I just don't get the need to fill a kitchen full of gadgets
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 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.
