Soup Makers

[gina32]

anybody got one and are they any good or just another thing that's used once and goes to the back of the cupboard?

I think slinky.kate has one and she loves it.

What's the point of a "soup maker"? All you need to make fabulous soup is a saucepan and a liquidiser.

Agree with diddlydo.

[Jackdaw33]

You don't even need a liquidiser.

I've got one, used it once and now it's in the back of the cupboard. x

Yes nothing you can't do better with a saucepan and a stick blender.

[pastafreak]

I should have added,its not something I would have.

I was given one as a gift, the downsides are:

Need a plug point
They are fiddly to clean (best to clean out straight after use)
there is a residual plasticky taste in the soup

I use a saucepan and blender and it makes a much better soup in my opinion (no plastic taste)

[gina32]

ok thanks for that, what are your best soup recipes?

I had one but I prefer my good old trusty pot. It makes fandabbydozysoup. I gave my soup maker to a charity shop.

I agree copa. I use my blender after it's all cooked. This thread has got me into soup making mode. Will make a pot or two this weekend I think. Freeze a load of it.

[ummmm]

I love spicy carrot (mild). I just use onion, garlic, chilli (to taste) carrots and stock...boil, blend...S&P...and a touch if cream if you fancy it.
