Crush ice and blend everything from smoothies to frozen cocktails. Allow me to introduce you to today’s giveaway — the new “Blend & Cook Soup Maker” from Cuisinart! The nonstick cooking plate “lets you saute ingredients, simmer, and even boil soups, and then blend to the perfect consistency with the touch of a button”.
Line the jug up with the base using the arrows, select the cooking duration and heating level, and you’re on the first step to soup. It was used for everything from making soups, homemade baby food, my homemade tomato sauce or just when we needed something quickly blending. The best soup makers come with a handy cleaning setting that dislodges any ingredients stuck to the blades and limits the washing up by hand.
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. I make a lot of soups that have rustic chopped vegetables and chunks of meat in them as well, I make a vegetable soup, and I also make a chunky style potato soup and it didn’t do well in this. If you cut your vegetables with any bit of thickness, they don’t cook through well at all I don’t want a crunch in my soup and I don’t know of anyone else that does either. It holds onto smells as well, so if you use any seasonings and spices, it will stay no matter how well you clean it. Blending Power This is the one thing it does well, it purees things to a pulp and that’s all it will do, don’t use it if you’re only wanting it chopped it won’t do that for you.
Within about a 40 minute time frame , I had an incredibly flavorful and unbelievably silky smooth Spiced Carrot Soup that would be luscious enough to serve to company. It was garnished with crispy Prosciutto, a dollop of Greek Yogurt and some snipped cilantro. I notice that there is a LOT of baby food makers on the market that cost more than a soup maker and don’t produce as much food for your baby.
The best soup I made in it was a Slimming World Leek and Potato and it works very well for low fat recipes. From broths to bouillon, this is soup making simplified. The Soup Maker is effortless to maintain, with controls that give you the option of letting the machine work by itself or allow you to adapt as desired. Given that you could spend the same on a standalone blender, this is a super-smart buy. The glass jug itself is similarly well constructed, with the electronics slightly elevated from the bottom rim of the base to avoid damage, and a sturdy handle at the side. Measurements are marked on the front and back, while a snugly fitting lid, complete with removable measuring cup, pushes firmly on top to prevent excess steam escaping during cooking.

On the subject of blenders, which is better the vitamix or blendtec? I am not a chief but I can only eat veggies if they are blended and in a soup. Immersion blenders aren’t very good for soup – well at least on a professional level. They work OK for some home uses, but if you’re main use is going to be soup spend the little bit of extra money and get a blender.
Yes, the jug does come apart from the heater element base but sometimes you need good strength and grip for this. The advantage for me is that there’s only one thing to wash up instead of saucepan, stick blender and jug. Inevitably I used to end up with blended soup up the wall, over the worktop and usually me! One further cuisinart soup maker observation – the hot plate switches on and off at intervals to simmer the soup, with shorter intervals between if you want it on high; then it sits and looks like it does nothing . However it just works differently to a hob by allowing the heat to dissipate through the liquid rather than continual bubbling.
Navigating my fingers around the sharp metal to pick out pieces of lentil was a challenge. 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. I love making carrot soup and your nifty soup-maker sounds like a new addition to the Christmas wish list.
