The Cuisinart SSB1U Soup Maker is just that. Combine a high power blender from one of the world leaders in kitchenware with a fast boil kettle, and you kind of see where this product is going. The Soup Maker and Blender is as sleek an appliance as I’ve seen. With its glistening charcoal finish and easy-to-read bright red LED displays, it’s like something out of the dashboard of a Bentley.
Meanwhile, thile the 900 watt motor has the power to easily perform all of your normal blender functions for making smoothies, crushing ice, chopping nuts, making baby food, etc. So from what I can tell it….pretty much does everything. One of the best parts of the Blend and Cook Soupmaker is the cleanup. If you add one cup of warm water and a drop of dish soap and blend on the low speed, then pour out the water and rinse, you’ll have clean blender ready for your next meal. With the touch of a button this blender cooks and blends your favorite soups.
Whoever came up with the advertising slogan, “Soup is good food” was spot on. And good for you, too, especially when you make it yourself. Cuisinart is set to introduce (sorry U.S., looks like just U.K. for now) the in September 2009.
But I really think it would have been easier to cook it on the stove. This would be a very good thing to have if you don’t have a stove. Put a little soapy water in, turn it on and rinse. I made smoothies a couple of days later. This thing pulverizes ice very quickly. We have made smoothies several times since.
The soup tasted great and was one of the easiest things I’ve ever made. My husband saw a similar gadget demonstrated at Costco. He thought it was the coolest thing EVER. “You can make soup right in the blender!” I wondered why you would want to do that. I mean, It is a very easy process for me to make soup in a pot on the stove. Dump some cans of stuff together and simmer.
Leave ’em in, add some oil, and turn the knob to low. Basically, you can cook an entire soup in the 48-ounce capacity unit (56 ounces if you’re using it with cold items like smoothies or shakes) with minimal prep. The Cusinart Soup Maker and Blender looks to streamline the entire soup process. The Cuisinart blend and cook soup maker really doesn’t work, unless all you want is pureed soups it’s good for that, but that’s just about it.
