Whoever came up with the advertising slogan, “Soup is good food” was spot on. And good for you, too, especially when you make it yourself. Cuisinart is set to introduce (sorry U.S., looks like just U.K. for now) the Cuisinart Soup Maker in September 2009. The name may be uncomplicated and accurately reflect the simple nature of soup, but this blender-meets-heater is all business.

The Cuisinart Soup Maker Plus produced a delectable butternut squash soup which was full of flavour and moisture. Although it should be commended on its ability to deliver a great soup, we did find residue became easily trapped below the blades which made it a little harder to clean.
