Morphy Richards 1.6L Sauté & Soup Maker, 4 Settings, Pause Function, LED Control Panel, Non-Stick Coated Jug, Detachable Power Cord, Stainless Steel, 501014, Black

So, I have soup at work almost every day for lunch. I buy the standard H***z variety. Never again. I purchased the Saute Soup Maker yesterday and this morning tried it for the first time. I made Broccolli and Stilton soup from Margaret Wrens Complete British Soup Maker Cookbook. Well... absolutely full of flavour and so smooth and no nasty additives. This gem of a soup maker will pay for itself in 4 months. I added a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the butter when I sauted the onions to help prevent any burning on the base. There was a little burning after cooking but I followed the Morphy Richards instructions after cooking to put in hot water and washing up liquid and after 15 minutes wiped with a sponge scourer and it wiped off easily. There wss some steam but no more than normal cooking, e.g. steaming vegetables. Easy to cook, easy to clean and not noisy. Would definately recommend

Delighted at how easy it is to use. First attempt at making leek and potato soup and it was delicious. Easy to clean too. Would highly recommend. Definitely value for money.

If you're on the hunt for a kitchen appliance that can truly transform your culinary game, look no further than this incredible soup maker with a sauté function. While you might come across soup makers at a lower price point, let me assure you that this one is an absolute gem and worth every single penny. What sets this soup maker apart is its ingenious sauté function, which eliminates the need for an extra pan when preparing your soups. Say goodbye to the hassle of sautéing onions and veggies separately - this beauty does it all in one go, and the difference in flavor is remarkable. Now, let's talk about its size. It's compact, hardly taking up more space than a standard kettle. This means it won't clutter your kitchen, and you'll have more room to explore your culinary creativity. But here's where it truly shines: in just about 20 minutes, you can indulge in exquisitely cooked, velvety-smooth soups. And here's my secret - chop those veggies a tad smaller to fit more in, start with less stock, and adjust the consistency later for extra servings throughout the week. It's a meal prep dream, especially for those busy work lunches. Speaking of versatility, I've experimented with a range of soup recipes, from the classic carrot and coriander to the rich and hearty lentil and bacon, or the indulgent broccoli and stilton. And let's not forget the ultimate comfort food - cauliflower cheese soup. They all turn out simply divine. But here's the kicker - when you're feeling a bit lazy, you can grab Asda's pre-prepared fresh soup veggies. Their spicy butternut squash and scotch broth options are personal favorites. And for a real treat, try making a chunky scotch broth with minced lamb and peas. It's like a warm hug in a bowl. In a nutshell, this soup maker is not just a kitchen appliance; it's a game-changer. If you crave quick, wholesome soups that outshine any canned version and are a breeze to prepare, this is your ticket to culinary bliss. Trust me, it's become an indispensable part of my kitchen, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Don't miss out on the opportunity to elevate your soup-making game to a whole new level!

Fabulous soup maker - easy to use. Makes soup from scratch: Chop up veg, sauté if necessary, pop in add stock & seasoning- press a button & hey presto, delicious smooth soup ( or chunky if preferred ) in under 25 mins. Easy to clean machine too . Highly recommended

I received the soup maker today and decided to try out it out straight away as I wanted a light tea. I was surprised as it wasn’t as tall as I was expecting and it fits well on my shelf. I took the advice from another reviewer which said, read the manual and follow the instructions. Without further ado, I cleaned the unit as instructed then I was ready to go. I had not long frozen some vegetables (onions, carrots, swede, parsnips, potato) so decided to make the vegetable soup recipe in the manual. Not many ingredients which was a bonus, I weighed out the vegetables but before I put it in the jug, I put a little water in the bottom (as another reviewer advised putting a little water in the bottom to stop anything sticking and it worked). I also listened to the same reviewer who said do not fill the jug right up to the maximum level, fill it just below, which prevents any spillage. I opted for smooth, pressed the start button and off it went merrily. I have to say that the blending part is noisy and I jumped out of my skin when it fired up! After 19 minutes, I had my soup, it was nice, smooth and thick, I coupled it with a nice whole grain roll, buttered of course! ;) okay! It did say it makes 4 portions but I hadn’t had lunch and was ravenous, so I got three portions instead. I am really looking forward to making some hearty soups to take to work in the cold months. The best bit is that I know what is in my soup and it has no preservatives or dodgy E numbers!!! I am going to try tomato soup next :) The only thing I was a little disappointed at was I thought the soup maker I was buying had a pause function but it doesn’t, but it’s not hugely important. It cooks brilliantly as the soup is piping hot. I was going to buy the compact version but decided I wanted to make a few portions for the week. It is expensive but I think I am going to get a lot of use out of it.
