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 pots and pans set 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 first is sauté for browning base ingredients such as onion and garlic. These need to be finely chopped as larger chunks can get lodged in the blade if no liquid is added. The glass jug itself is similarly well constructed, with the electronics slightly elevated from the bottom rim of the base to avoid damage, and a sturdy handle at the side.
Over the next couple of weeks she made a number of different soups. Whether you’re a fan of bisque or borscht, French onion or oxtail, chowder or cock-a-leekie, there’s no denying the soothing feeling of a warm bowl of soup. And now that autumn is in full swing, it’s officially soup season.
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. It’s easy to use and exceptionally versatile, too.
And I’m not talking simply making soups, smoothies and shakes. However there were some redeeming features. I liked that it had weighing scales built in, music to the ears of those looking to stick to recipes meticulously. The LED timer was helpful to ascertain how long you’ve got left on your soup, which usually took around half an hour to make. Overall, a solid machine that makes good soup, but not quite as impressive as some competitors. One downside, however, is that there are a lot of beeps.
The company that puts the art into cuisine – quite literally. The Cuisinart soup maker was one of the better-looking models I tried. A sleek and slender design, it doesn’t take up too much space and isn’t an ugly machine that should be stashed away when not in use.
In this review, we focus on the key features and functions of Cuisinart’s SSB1U Soup Maker (available in the UK) and their SBC-1000 model (available in the US and in Canada). Meanwhile, in a Cuisinart soup maker and blender over low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, using the stir function occasionally, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium, add the carrots and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry powder, salt and pepper and cook, using the stir function occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Four blending speeds and a pulse function are available to allow you to achieve the desired consistency. All the while, an integrated heater lets you choose from a high, medium, or low settings, cooking the soup directly in the blender. A timer function keeps track of cooking time for you, truly making this all-in-one device a convenient option for soup aficionados.
Here are the best soup makers I tested, starting with my favourite. This recipe is excellent and can be easily adjusted to prepare on your stove top. It has a slightly different taste than some other curry powders. This soup will definitely be a staple in our house this winter.
