soup maker

so soup makers worth the money or not ?

Surely thats just called a pot ?

Buy yourself a decent blender and use a big stockpot to make your soup.

My way.
Joint a chicken or duck and use the bones and boiling water to make the base, sieve, remove the meat and add to base, then add whatever you want and simmer for as long as possible, its the simmer time that produces the depth of flavour.
Finally blend to a smooth texture and freeze into portion packs for reheating and consumption.
Do not reheat a second time.

Your ancestors would have starved to death without it, having said that, our appendix may have still been functional then

Nope, got one and now gathering dust. Pot and a stck blender does the job for me found that the soup maker meant that i had to chop everything so small, it took longer. but bread make is great and used all the time - weird I know

I have one and use it quite often. Less bother to use and you do not have to worry about it boiling over.

She now uses it week in week out
