Re: I Might Buy A Soup Maker!

Just coming back to this thread and I have after our whizzer we used to do soup broken decided to buy a soup maker rather than a new whizzer. Similar price we found for each.

Anyway I have the morphy richards which does make enough soup for 4, washes up easily and TBH we are eating soup several times a week because it's so easy to do.

The only drawback is you cannot add to the soup once it's on. But we seem to be managing to adapt recipes so everything goes in at the beginning.

If you want to add meat which we never do it has to be precooked before adding. That might be a problem for some people.

Re: I Might Buy A Soup Maker!

What part of the soup making process is this machine actually saving you?

Seems just the part where you leave the veg to simmer in a saucepan on a hob and then the final blending of it into a smooth consistency.

Simmering veg in a pan is no effort at all is it?

So is it the blending part that you're trying to avoid?

Re: I Might Buy A Soup Maker!

Well I have a struggle some days to stand and stir for long, I also find the whizzer was a bit heavy for me. I also think it's nice to be able to put it all in a machine and spend half an hour with the kids, we can have a lot of fun in half an hour.

Re: I Might Buy A Soup Maker!

I bought one and used it once , it's been stuck in my cupboard ever since. I make gorgeous soups the traditional way and they taste much better than in that soup maker. I should open a soup kitchen, I d call it Souper Bev's ! I really should my soups are the best so my dad tells me!

I'm curious why it tasted different LQ I put same ingredients in the soup maker as I do in a saucepan, only difference is if I add cheese it's right at the very end. But the taste of my soups are identical.

It's okay for a quick tea break snack at work, Julie.
Otherwise, I only really eat soup in a restaurant as a starter once in a blue moon. Tomato and mescaparne is lovely
