This was bought as a gift for my parents to replace an ageing machine. They love it and say that it is really easy to use although it does take up quite a bit of room compared to some soup makers
I love this soup maker! So easy to use. Takes 30 minutes to make delicious soups (plus pasta sauce, curries etc). I cook soups while I’m cooking dinner, it is so convenient. Also just click blitz with hot water and it’s clean (you just need to either clean straight away or fill it with warm water when finished making soup, if you leave it, the veg dries on and is hard to clean).
I have made great soups and stews in this soup maker. I noticed other people said about the top coming off and I did see this when I overfilled it, so my fault but I find that if you leave the top scoop at an angle the air gets in and the top does not come up or off. My grumble is where the glass joins the bottom you can get food stuck if it has rolled down the side.
Very useful to make normal soups. But if you need any specific soups like Indian it won’t be good
Having previous bad experiences of soupmakers by MR..two had cutters shear off, one the heating control failed, I was initially hesitant over this.
Quality of manufacture is good and the cutter structure gives confidence, Easy to use and to clean & the results have been excellent.
Only downside is that is heavy and its height makes it difficult to find storage space in a cupboad though it looks impressive on the worktop.
Very good kitchen implement.Easy to use,easy to clean.Very pleased with it.
I like the way that you can see the progress of the soup. With the “gentle stir” facility you can give it a stir at any time in the cooking cycle. Then there is the “blitz” option for making the soup as lumpy of smooth as you like. With a saute option it makes this “gadget” very versatile.
I haven’t yet opened the box up but this is replacing one that broke after a good few years of use. Very good soup maker, also makes smoothies and sauces etc. The delivery could have been a little quicker, but I did receive a very quick response when I messaged the sender.
Never thought I needed a soup maker till persuaded to buy this. It’s excellent all round making better soup than I always did by hand and saving so much time.
From the moment you unpack it you can see that the Soup Maker Plus lives up to the usual Cuisinart standard.
Robust and yet compact it’s easy to find a space in the in even the smallest of kitchens, yet it still produces an impressive 1.7l of piping hot soup.
Previously I was juggling pans and a blender to make soup, now it’s a simple “one pot” process.
One feature I find particularly handy which is missing from the majority of other soup makers, even at the Cuisinart’s premium price point, is the ability to saut.
This makes it a true “one pot” device cutting down on pot-juggling and cleaning.
Speaking of cleaning, this is another area where the Cuisinart product excels, the self-cleaning function means that even this chore is reduced to nothing.
So, are there no faults at all, not quite. The first “issue” I encountered was with the supplied measuring cup, when washing it in warm water for the first time all of the measuring increments came off. Not a great problem for me as I don’t use it, but a bit irritating if you do.
Problem number two is more of a design flaw – there is a maximum level indication on the body, however it is almost impossible to see, so I’ve ended up having to put a small piece of black tape over it, again not major, however it looks unsightly and could have easily been made more visible.
Would I then recommend the Cuisinart Soup Maker? Yes, without hesitation, if you’re after a well built, quality product which looks good and produces fantastic results, then look no further, it’s err, “souper”…
I had another one of these soup makers for many years. It did finally give up the ghost but it was constantly used for many years. I think it is fab which is why I have bought a replacement.
This is my third soup maker. Had an Andrew James one that was excellent and lasted about 4/5 years. Them bought a Tower one which lasted until guarantee had expired. Bought this one and yes it makes nice soup but the jug is extremely heavy.
Tried a few before this one. They didn’t heat well or were too flimsy.
I like my appliances rugged, (as if they were built by Cyberdine and sent back from the future).
This one is large capacity,
Does hot and cold,
Heats and chops like a beast (don’t leave your Ital stew cooking on high and walk away!)
The glass jar is BPA free.
(Although there seems to be some kind of non-stick heater at the bottom — would have to ask Mark Ruffalo what it’s made of…)
You can unscrew the jar from the chopping base making cleaning easier. But watch out for them blades.
Only thing, some other models have an auto-blend program. This doesn’t. But it’s better to come back and have to blend hot veg yourself, than have tepid veg soup blended for you.
All-in-all a well designed, sturdy unit.
My favorite piece of kitchen equipment, so easy to use and clean, lovely soups , sauces and rissottos in one po
This is a good quality heavy soup maker. After having several others, this is the best quality and easiest to use. Great that you can see the soup too 🙂
Son and daughter in law very happy with this gift. It’s helped them during this lockdown.

Heavy, especially when fully loaded

This is a soup maker (and more!!) for those who want to create and adapt existing recipes.
This is my 3rd one. The other 2 lasted over 6 years each. I make loads of soup and it’s a real workhorse. Can’t be without it.
Excellent piece of equipment, easy to use. My only complaint is that the jug is heavy, but apart from this, I can thoroughly recommend this soup maker.
Probably the best kitchen gadget I have ever purchased. Wonderful produc
Great product. Easy to clean and quick for soup. Next to try out for risotto!
Love it!! Simple to use and keeps the kitchen tidy. Very compact and easy to clean. Soups in recipe book are delicious and remarkably easy to make- especially the Sweet Potato & Red Pepper !!
I absolutely love this very easy to use & to clean after 🙂 .
I liked that you can control the level of heat and the speed of blending and you can give a stir whenever you need
First impressions are, it’s heavy, do not expect this to be a lightweight device, it isn’t, but, that gives it a serious feel, it doesn’t feel cheap like the others, or has a quality feel to it.
Ease of use. Well, my partner used it yesterday to great effect, chop up the ingredients a little, whack them in, hit saute and leave it, then, add fluids, leave it for 25 minutes, stir (using the handy button), then, at the end, pop onto setting 2 to blitz up your soup. Have to admit, it was DELICIOUS.
Cleaning is indeed easy, very easy in fact. Once you’ve done and emptied the glass Jug, pop some water in, with a tiny amount of fairy liquid ( other cleaning solutions are available lol), whizz it up a little, rinse out and that’s it, nothing could be easier.
All in all, if you want a “proper soup maker”, one that blitzes, blends and makes a lovely soup, do not look any further, THIS is the one you want.
We would definitely put this as a highly recommended
A very good Soup Maker. What a difference to the old fashioned way with saucepans etc.., and really good soup. Love it to bits
Received it yesterday. Excellent, I’ve already made cauliflower and Stilton soup. Love it.
Just what I wanted, makes soup easy and less time consuming than watching a pan.
Excellent quality. One pre-programmed soup option would have been useful.
Best thing I have in my cupboard soup excellent love i
An may I add not at all complicated ,,it’s the easiest kitchen gadget to
Use , prob the best gadget for the kitchen on the market .
I’d buy a third model if they improve any more !!!!!
