Hi

I agree with Steve and others who think that a Soup Maker device will not make soup as good as "the Real Thing"

However I found a reasonably priced/sized one - £40 at Coopers of Stortford.

By practicing I have come to be able to create soup almost as good as the hand made way. Like Steve I believe that soup is better when left for a day before eating...or is it drinking?


So, having chosen my ingredients, exactly as I would if I were to do it the "manual" way. Then I pour the soup into a saucepan and put a lid on. When I come to heat it up I do it on the cooker and while doing so I taste the soup and add butter etc to taste.

We have a large family with a number of grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren. They come to visit us regularly I am pleased to say.

The soup maker is great for making quick small batches when they ring us to say that they are on their way. For the two of us the maker we have does just enough for two large dinner sized portions.

We have a "posh" food processor as my wife is a qualified chef and has worked in the catering industry for many years. The Processor has now been shelved and is only used by my wife when she cooks for formal dinner parties.

My soup Maker has other qualities ( I haven't used them yet) eg Smoothies, Blending, Boiling, as well as the ability to make chunky or smooth soup to two thicknesses.

If I want to make large batches I do it manually...just preparing another favourite of ours...Pea and Ham...yummmmmmmmy !!

Happy soup Making
