You can cook homemade soups from start to finish or blend up your favorite smoothie with this innovation exclusively by Cuisinart. The built in nonstick heater plate provides the perfect surface to sauté ingredients, simmer or boil soups, and with a touch of a button blend it all to a perfect consistency. Crush ice and blend everything from smoothies to frozen cocktails. The soup maker is designed to help you create delicious homemade soups from start to finish. Even the ability to lightly saute aromatics is integrated. For example, you could start by softening some onions and garlic on the nonstick heater plate, and then add ingredients to blend.

Navigating my fingers around the sharp metal to pick out pieces of lentil was a challenge. And now that autumn cuisinart griddler elite is in full swing, it’s officially soup season. This easy version can be made any night of the week.
The soup tasted great and was one of the easiest things I’ve ever made. My husband saw a similar gadget demonstrated at Costco. He thought it was the coolest thing EVER. “You can make soup right in the blender!” I wondered why you would want to do that. I mean, It is a very easy process for me to make soup in a pot on the stove. Dump some cans of stuff together and simmer.
Cover the blender jar and stir, using about 10 quick bursts to break up the onion. Sauté until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the broth, carrots, celery, salt, pepper and thyme; stir to mix. Set timer for 15 minutes and temperature on High to bring mixture to a boil.
The recipe booklet included with the machine gives recipes for hot drinks like orange white hot chocolate or icy drinks like berry cherry smoothies or basil lemonade. Because this appliance functions as a hybrid slow-cooker, food processor, and blender, it’s something that deserves a piece of real estate on your kitchen counter. It’s the perfect gift for busy folks trying to find a little bit of extra time during this holiday insanity. Usually, combination appliances miss the culinary mark. Silicone bowls in which you can prepare food and then throw it in the oven to roast said food? But the Soup Maker is a shining example of a smart combination appliance.
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.

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. Last night, I made a cream of broccoli soup with the soupmaker. I heated up the heat plate for 10 minutes on the medium setting, then I added some oil and half an onion and raised the heat to the high setting. I stirred the onions a few times using the stir button, and then added broccoli florets and chicken stock. The soup cooked on high for about 15 minutes, and I lowered the heat to medium once it came to a boil. Once everything was cooked, I turned the heat off, added some seasoning and a little cream, and blended everything together.
