I’ve also used it to make marinara sauce and vegetable purees to sneak into other foods. 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.
The best soup makers can create a delicious soup – be it a simple, creamy tomato and rosemary or a more complex chicken and tarragon – in under 30 minutes. Will I be giving up my traditional method of cooking soups? I still enjoy a good pot of bubbling soup simmering on the stove. However, I will use this Blend and Cook Soupmaker for quick soups and lunches and recipes that require a really nice pureed texture.

This means that if you have foods that are quite chunky like carrots, that it can take a while to blend and sometimes feels like an effort.

My husband actually snuck some spinach in a smoothie and I didn’t notice any change to texture. Ease of Use A few buttons to push but nothing too complicated.
