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. Maria W.June 13th, 2013I love my cuisinart soup maker when it works. Bought two years ago, had to send it back twice for faulty mixing action, it kept slipping or stop altogether.

Naturally, being an inveterate collector of kitchen “stuff” I have a KitchenStir 1000 which is nothing near a competitor to Thermomix.

Australian Soup Makers – We have noticed a growing trend of Aussie love for soup maker. Just like us they get a cold winter and love a big bowl of soup.

It is a sturdy and reliable soup maker, but this does come at a price; at a hefty £140.00 the cuisinart griddler elite Plus would be your splurge-buy. As you can’t blend while heating like many soup makers which offer a smooth setting, it does mean you need to chop vegetables well to ensure you end up with a smooth consistency. There’s a high setting for bringing liquids up to the boil and a simmer setting which is a lower temperature and ideal for simmering soups. If you want to stir, you need to press the slow stir button. The Soup Maker, without benefit of scale, requires cooks to use additional equipment and time for measuring ingredients.
