Soup maker £19.99 aldi

[Nanniemate]

OK got carried away seen the cheapie on line.
So picked one up today.
2 carrots, 1 onion 1 not big potato some coriander a stickcube and after coping them roughly softening the onion in a frying pan binging them all in pressing cream soup half an hour later most carrots are creamed gave it another blitz for a minute just over

Out comes a very tasty creamy soup. The colour was not the best should have put coriander in at end.

Have I wasted £20 let's see how often I use it and there are no pics of the soup sorry

Sorry can’t see the point of a gadget to make soup.
What’s wrong with a saucepan?

Parsnip and sweet chestnut for me, especially if you can find some fresh ones.

In autumn/winter then we use ours load too.

When you are using the oven for something else roast some parsnips then use them for a soup nice and tasty!

 

[Spriddler]

For soups and stews I still use a pressure cooker left to me by my sister. It was given to her by our Mum in 1945 when she was living on an RAF camp.

Apparently in those days it was necessary to educate folk about the origin of adventurous foods.........

I love my kitchen gadgets and have a ninja all-in-one blender/soup maker. It gets used a lot. So easy to just plonk all the stuff in, press one button and walk away until it's done.

You won't have wasted £20, there are so many soup recipes to try.

Love my soup maker and in use nearly every week during winter. Cream of mushroom is my favourite, and when the mushrooms are on the ‘must go today’ counter in the supermarket I always buy them.

We always buy them but my favourite is fried in a bit of butter and garlic then add cheese and a little double cream and have on toast

I do make some soups on the hob eg bean and bacon or mulligatawny for multiple portions for the freezer. But for quicker soups and for just the two potions for us I use my soup maker. We like the veg soup, just one leek, one carrot, 1 potato and stock. Just takes 30 mins and is absolutely great. Green pea is another. Interestingly if you make tomato soup in it with canned toms it tend to burn on the base of the jug, but not if you use fresh tomatoes.

And have no control what goes in there.

But yes don't normally but as they were cheap thought what the heck
Carrot n coriander was delicious. No added salt and no having to watch the pot

Will I use it? who knows, but it worked chopped and threw everything then lid on. And me in shower got out. Clean kitchen no spills

But on my lidl card they have just sent me a buy 3 tins of soup get one free.

And I've kept the box so it can be recycled as a Christmas present

Ive just bought one from tesco and am looking firward to using it only bought it cos i fancy cauliflower and stilton
Wino have you tried fried mushrooms , double cream and a splash of sherry?
Lovely on a jacket

 

[Cal54]

Nanniemate you nearly got the recipe right!
1 clove of garlic
1 small/medium onion chopped.
Mushrooms sliced - any will do but a mix with chestnut and button is my go to.
Veg stock - but not too much
All thrown in the soup maker, set to smooth and 19 mins later you have a nice thick base.
When ready to serve heat and then stir in single cream to desired thickness.

The proliferation of these single use appliances is yet another example of wasted resources and cupboard filling redundancy. Soup maker? Rice cooker? Why? I've made soups and cooked rice perfectly well for decades without these things and more besides. Imo, air fryers too. Only a small inadequate fan oven, after all.

 

[Lenny HB]

Had one a couple if years don't use it enough but when I do I wished I used it more often.
My favorite is tomato & chirizo with loads of chilli.

I have a rice cooker it's on speed dial and usually is delivered with chicken and black Pepper.

tony-g yes so have i but
The airfryer is far cheaper to use than an oven and cooks so nicely bacon is cooked to perfection i never fried it it was cooked in my oven , which is expensive,
Chicken is tasty potatoes roasted quicker
And hopefully with soupmaker i can put it on and not worry about firgetting it and burning the bottom out of pan when im messing about at bottom of garden
Treat yourself to an asda airfryer 50 quid
Worth every penny

Curried Parsnip & Apple.
Broccoli & Blue cheese.

I have a Ninja soup maker that I bought on an impulse a few months ago when a friend recommended one. I love it. It’s a brilliant way of getting veggies into a certain person who isn’t too keen!

I’ll be using it a lot for lunches over the winter.

I’m not one for gadgets in the kitchen other than my bean to cup machine (that’s now an essential of course!) so I did wonder but no regrets.

That might be the case for you but others, like myself, would sooner use an air fryer or soup maker for a specific function. It’s a lot cheaper than using my range cooker, which has been made redundant.
So, no wasted resources here

Sorry can’t see the point of a gadget to make soup.

I use a stock pot to batch make soup, and blitz it with a stick blender. Can't really see what can be easier! I have a small kitchen, so not much space to add extra appliances, either.

Love my soup maker and in use nearly every week during winter. Cream of mushroom is my favourite, and when the mushrooms are on the ‘must go today’ counter in the supermarket I always buy them.

Cream of mushroom is also one of my favourites. I use it as a base for stews and casseroles on a regular basis too.

Curried Parsnip & Apple.
Broccoli & Blue cheese.

I made eight portions of broccoli & blue cheese soup yesterday. Half for the freezer, in single portions. I added 6oz green lentils for some more protein, and used the lump of tasty blue cheese I bought from the cheese stall at the Lincoln MH show.
I'm not a fan of parsnips but oddly enough I do quite like spiced parsnip soup. Curried parsnip and apple may be worth a try. I can always pass it to my parsnip-loving mum if I hate the result!

I also regularly make red lentil and tomato soup, which I usually add a 'zing' of chilli too, but which also works nicely with a tablespoon or two of balti curry paste stirred in about halfway through the cooking time.
