"I have a Russell Hobbs one and love it. Soup from raw fresh start to Finnish blended as well twenty minutes no mess. "
Sounds good. It’s all the messing about blending etc I hate so was thinking this would be easier |

I had one, the motor gave up after about a year. If you don't chop the veg small enough then the motor will struggle or not work, this to me is the main part of labour making soup. I just do it in a pan, cook just until tender then use a stick blender straight in the pan, it's just as easy as the soup maker, I wouldn't buy one again, plus you can use the stick blender for other things. |

A big pot works perfectly well!
We've all been duped into thinking we need these gadgets to feed corporate profits.
They just end up gathering dust in a kitchen cupboard. |

 exactly what we do, and use at work...
I don't have a stick blender myself, when I'm making soup at home it tends to be a bit rustic. boil them long enough, a lot of the veg break down. |

Ah the one thing I did find with the soup maker was that the veg was just cooked and therefore tasted fresher, I found it tastier than longer cooked. So now in the pan its only cooked for 20 or so minutes. I don't blend until smooth, just a bit bitty.
We all have our own ways, makes the world interesting  |
