    I normally make soup in a pan but decided to treat myself to this. I’ve found it useful for left over roast chicken and when I end up with too many tomatoes or mushrooms etc. It cooks the soup really fast and I love the self clean button. It definitely cleans itself very well. The only 2 downsides are that it is heavy and the beeps it makes are so loud they’ll make you jump! I would still recommend it though.

    This device takes so much of the fuss out of soup making. I didn’t get one for a long time as I felt that the traditional method was fine. It is, but the Soup Maker is just so easy to use.

    Does what it says on the lid very easy very quick a bit noisy when smoothing but it is just in short spurts!

    Bought one for winter soups, but it has been in constant use, it is so easy to use, put everything into it switch it on and leave. We grow tomatoes and have had a glut then freeze. Bag of frozen veg makes it very quickly and no hassle.
    Saut onion and garlic while preparing other ingredients, chuck it all in and off it goes.
    And the cleaning program does exactly that.
    We love i

    After searching through tons of reviews online all over, the pro chef soup maker by Drew and Co had such a reasonable price with the saute feature. My wife used it tonight and it was pretty good. I found myself enjoying it, even though I was not in the mood for soup! Lol She just took some fresh and frozen veg, sauteed some garlic, added water and a stockpot cube and some pre-cooked chicken strips. We had it chunky so it had a clear broth, and it was very tasty.

    I didn’t have much luck with the Morphy Richards one I previously had due to it burning the soups. My mum recommended trying this one and I was quite impressed. I can cook any kind soup in it without the worry of it burning. I like the added bonus feature of self cleaning. I giggle every time when my family are standing close to it when it’s in cleaning mode. It makes them jump every time lol.

    Never heard of a soup maker until yesterday. I can’t quite believe how it worked so well. It really is easy to clean massive bonus (not in the dishwasher). Large capacity definitely 4 good sized bowls. Rapid and quicker than 19 minutes. I have purchased another two today. Along with a book.

    oh my how I wish I had got one of these a long time ago !! Why did i wait so long!!!
    This soup maker definitely passed all my expectations and more.
    Easy to use and delicious healthy homemade soup in less than half an hour. Now I’m making recipes i would never have even thought about trying before. I do not like peppers but i decided to try the Sweet Potato and Pepper soup from the recipes that came with the maker and it was delicious and the whole family loved it. Now they are demanding soup all the time !!
    You literally saute if needed and drop in the ingredients and stock, switch it on and hey presto all done in less than half and hour while you get on with other things. I will never labour over the cooker with a Pot of soup again !!!! Every soup I have made so far had been a huge success !!

    This is a very effective soup maker and is easy to clean. However, the keep warm function is not particular good and next time I would buy the model without this function as it is considerably cheaper.

    This soup maker is brilliant. Although I have a recipe book you can just make soup up from scratch with any left overs. It is a case of trial and error. Soups are made quickly and you can choose whether smooth or chunky. We bulk make and store in freezer. Wouldn’t be without it.

    Delighted with product but very disappointed with packaging. Arrived in a sturdy cardboard box but no internal packaging showing product. As this was a gift this was very disappointing. Promised recipe book was a card saying that we could down load recipes from net.

    I am always sceptical about product reviews and some things one has to try and test to see if they really work. This soup maker is so straight forward to use and clean and every single soup I made so far turned out beautiful and silky. I use it nonstop, even making curries and stews. Sauting option is very useful and you can control the time (make sure that there is enough liquid to prevent burning/sticking). Now I can have a delicious soup ready in 19min and my kitchen would not get hot or smelly from cooking. Great for fruit compote, quick deserts and for making pts. After my Ninja air fryer, Soup Chef is the next best kitchen gadget that I use on daily basis and has definitely improved my family healthy eating habits

    Makes delicious soup. Sorry for not not buying sooner. Would recommend. The lid is awkward to put down once removed and the soup maker cannot be carried by the handle as the bottom falls to the floor. Great to use otherwise.

    It’s great..I make my own recipes but only very small gripe is on the smooth setting the kettle beeps when it is about to blend then even during bleep it starts blending and it surprises and with noise, it’s a very small gripe for an otherwise great product.

    I have used this a lot since I bought it, it makes excellent soup very quickly, I like that you can saut the onions and garlic in it before adding the main ingredients.
    The auto clean works well, it makes washing it out much easier as the auto clean has removed most of the residue.

    It is easy to use and it makes nice soup, once made it has a keep warm feature for an hour after you have made it.

    It seems well made and everything works as it should.

Unit itself is easy to use and easy to clean. Be warned that the noise it makes when blending is very loud but thankfully it’s only a few short blending cycles!

    So far so(up) good

    If you are a soup fan then this is great – everyone should eat more soup !!. It cooks, blends and maintains the heat. I got the version with the “fry” option, but I feel that the base gets too hot too quickly and your onions (or whatever) can burn quickly and that will make it hard to clean, so you need to keep a close eye on it if using that option. Overall it is good for the price and there are recipe options on the app. It could also make baby food. It is only noisy when it comes to blending, but as I just walk away and let it do its thing, that doesn’t bother me.

    I had always rather dismissed the idea of a soup maker, thinking that a couple of pans and a liquidiser would do the job just as well. And of course they can – but this is so convenient with the result I am using it almost every day. I was won over when my daughter-in-law bought one – and now my daughter has one too. Three very satisfied customers.

    Soup maker extremely easy to use and I would definitely recommend it as i already have to family members and friends As most recipes ask for certain ingredients to be sauteed first, this machine has this function incorporated in the handle so no need for extra pans. The only slight down side is the loud noise the machine makes when it is blending for a smooth soup. Thankfully does not go on for too long!
