But if you are outside of the UK, then you won’t find the same choice in soup makers. We are planning on upgrading on our Morphy Richards Soup Maker back to the Cuisinart Soup Maker, because now as a family of 5 with 5 hungry tummies to fill we need a larger soup maker. It is very good value for money, even more so if you pick it up during a sale like we did. If you have small children, its perfect for fast lunches or for pureed baby food. When you first start weaning your baby off the breast milk, you can puree all their first fruit and vegetables and it can be a real time saver. We figured that when she was old enough we would use it to make her blended baby food, plus it would be big enough for us grown ups to have some soup whenever we wanted to as well.

When I do get a chance to make soup, I always make a giant mess. I love roasted tomato basil soup, but I can never get it from the bubbling hot pot into my tiny blender without getting half of it on the counter or caked on to the side of blender.
However, I will use this Blend and Cook Soupmaker for quick soups and lunches and recipes that require a really nice pureed texture.

We were told that we would add our ingredients into the blender, cook them and then blend them into a creamy soup. I’m not sure how long we had for the challenge, but I believe it was all completed within an hour, including the time required to chop the vegetables. We were let down by the appliances’ ability to retain a good, hot temperature after the dish had been plated up.
