Sounds good. It’s all the messing about blending etc I hate so was thinking this would be easier

One of the main reasons I did to. Mine looks like a stand up kettle. Blade and jug to wash after really easy does smooth or lumpy soup and does smoothies as well

I thought you'd be giving away an unwanted present, starting a boxing day swap shop or some such

Sounds good. Too much salt and additives in canned soup these days.

Now that sounds like a good idea

I just use a big pot, wooden spoon and potato masher for my homemade soup. I think fancy gadgets are a waste of money.

Just use a slow cooker, out it in and forget, country style soup with chunks is great.

I had one, the motor gave up after about a year. If you don't chop the veg small enough then the motor will struggle or not work, this to me is the main part of labour making soup. I just do it in a pan, cook just until tender then use a stick blender straight in the pan, it's just as easy as the soup maker, I wouldn't buy one again, plus you can use the stick blender for other things.

I bought one but never used it. Gave it away in the end.

I’ve had mine for years and love it. I tend to pick up reduced veg packs and freeze them, bung them straight from freezer into machine and hot steaming soup in twenty mins

A big pot works perfectly well!

We've all been duped into thinking we need these gadgets to feed corporate profits.

They just end up gathering dust in a kitchen cupboard.

exactly what we do, and use at work...

I don't have a stick blender myself, when I'm making soup at home it tends to be a bit rustic. boil them long enough, a lot of the veg break down.

Ah the one thing I did find with the soup maker was that the veg was just cooked and therefore tasted fresher, I found it tastier than longer cooked. So now in the pan its only cooked for 20 or so minutes. I don't blend until smooth, just a bit bitty.

We all have our own ways, makes the world interesting

Cook pot and a hand blender. Much more versatile.
