Soup Makers!

[nice1two]

Has anyone got any recommendations for a nice blender/soup making machine. Looked on google and there seems to be loads of potential minefields.

Thanks

Buy a large saucepan/stock pot and a stick blender.

This. We had a Morphy Richards soupmaker but found it quite frustrating. It didn't hold that much, would refuse to work if over-filled and was quite noisy (frightened our dog!) and temperamental. In the end, we ditched it and used our pressure-cooker and a stick blender.

+3 for the above. We have a kenwood stick blender and its great for soups. They also do a potato masher attachment which is fantastic.

Another +1 for using a hand-held blender. I’ve used one with acceptable success over the past few weeks to make a chicken & mushroom soup, a tomato & basil soup and a mushroom & garlic soup.

I’d say quality ingredients are more important than equipment. I use stuff from a local fruit & veg wholesaler and it’s so much better than supermarket stuff.

I've recently been inducted in the world of Thermomix, it's bit more than a soup maker but does do a bloody good job of soup making!
