This is amazing. It’s so easy to use and clean. I never thought I would see myself buying a soup maker as I had always made soup on the stove. But I was recommended to buy one and I chose this one. Making soup is so quick and easy. Half an hour and your fresh soup is made.
Excellent soup maker. I’ve had a few in the past and this is way better. Easy to use and so easy to clean. Highly recommend
Easy to use, easy to clean and is very useful with batch making baby food!
The only problem is theres not a great difference in the minimum and maximum levels.
So easy to use and you can ring the changes with the types of soup you can make. Beautiful bowls of soup ready in just 15-20 minutes and the self clean option is a boon.
I love this soup maker, it’s stylish easy to clean and worth every penny.
Meat needs to be cooked first which I wasn’t aware of but I only ever use chicken so that was done in the microwave first, then you literally chop everything and throw it in up to the level, put in your stock, put the lid on and press your menus choice, it takes 25 minutes to make your soup.
I made butternut squash and coconut milk soup, first attempt and it was great really tasty. I would recommend this to anyone it’s a great asset to any kitchen, and cook.
My new favourite appliance. I’ve always enjoyed soup making, but now it’s a joy. With just a few ingredients the most delicious soups are ready in under half an hour. It’s brillia
Love this despite it sitting in the box for a few weeks after I’d purchased it. It looks complicated to use but it’s so easy. All soup I’ve made tastes amazing, so much better than bought soup. If you want to make really healthy, easy lunches, then buy this product! You won’t regret it.
I purchased this item as I have to have a liquid diet for health reasons.I have been making soup for years in my old pressure cooker then using my liquidiser to blend smooth.The soup maker does it all for me in just 25 minutes and keeps it hot if I don’t need to eat it immediately after cooking,Brilliant and much cheaper homemade soup at a fraction of the cost of bought soups
Very happy with it. My child doesn’t like ” watery soups” but he eat all that are made my Teflon soup maker.
Easy and quick to use.
Highly recommend to anyone who likes soups but either doesn’t have time to make them or doesn’t know how to cook them.
Excellent product.
Great recipe book.
So easy to use and the soups are tasty.
Only makes enough for 2 but so fast easy to prepare for 4 and make 2 batches.
Only improvement I’d suggest is minimum and max fill markers are really hard to see.
This is a great soup maker. Easy to use quiet and easier to clean than any other I have had.
No dislikes! VERY relieved to find that ALL the inner food-touching surfaces are of stainless steel and NOT compromised by an unmentioned non-stick surface in the bottom or elsewhere of an otherwise “stainless steel” product!
Very good supplier service too! The soup maker arrived a day before expected.
Performance excellent.
Love it.
Makes great soup. Simple to use. Easy to clean. Makes three large portions. Easy to pour out. Nice and consistent. Happy customer.
Not so keen on fruit option but for soup alone well worth it.
Extremely easy to use! Very easy to clean with its self clean function, just wipe it out afterwards. Comes with a recipe book too which is a bit s*** so I bought the 100 soup recipes book from amazon which is awesome. My only downside is that I should have looked at a bigger one to make family sized, we just make 2 batches now instead as it’s a quick 25 minutes and your soup is made!
The lead is too short and the steam goes up into my press. Ideally the soup maker should be under the extractor fan while the soup is cooking as a lot of steam comes out. I have to get an extension lead to do this and it is a nuisance.
Think heavier, small size ingredients (lentils, peas, chopped tomatoes etc) might stick, or burn to bottom, but fine for carrots, butternut, leeks etc. Happened to me once, but that might have been my fault. Only ever used the smooth function, that turns out perfectly.
I love it we can all use it. It isn’t as easy to clean as I’d like but as easy as cleaning a saucepan. I would have liked a bigger jug but can’t have everything. Also a better recipe book workday be nice. But other than those tiny little things, it’s terrific
Good machine! Be careful to add enough water to avoid the bottom to burn like mine..
after easy clean, always double check if a quick proper sponge cleaning is needed!
Happy with this purchase. Less messing around than a saucepan and blender. Perfectly cooked and smoothly blended. Smoothies are also good. The only downside is the capacity- tend to have to cook a soup recipe in 2 gos
Stylish looking and easy to clean. So far, it’s been reliable. (Reading reviews of several soup makers, it seems that none of them are 100% sound.) My previous soup maker (Giles & Pozner) failed after a few months to blend so I really hope this one doesn’t conk out. Recipe book rather disappointing – but that’s of minor importance to me.
I bought a soup maker after a recommendation from a friend . I love soup but have always used a blender & thought I made good soup. But now I Have gone up a step what a difference it just tastes so different creamy without using cream always just enough I don’t have to eat the same soup for 2 days , just brilliant very easy to use & it cleans without a fuss
Quick and easy. Definitely making more soup these days. Flavour is good but can be enhanced in some cases if you quickly saute veg in a pan before putting in soupmaker. Makes about 3 bowls so fine for two people.
Recommend you buy the Soup Bible book on Amazon too as it has endless recipes.
Very easy to use, comes with a semi decent recipe book too. Makes enough soup for 4 at least. Sometimes the veg gets burnt to the bottom though, so it is a pain to clean. If the electrical inlet was moved to the top part and the jug bit was dishwasher safe, this thing would be unbeatable!
I love using this, sometimes the soup burns on the bottom which means the cleaning function doesn’t get it off but with a sponge it comes off.
Easy of use for quick results. Sturdy and stainless steel container. The capacity is a bit small but sufficient for two persons. Our main user is for soups with pieces.
Excellent product purchased this as the morphy Richards we previously owned would trip the electrics(common fault). It makes great soups and is easy to clean. The one critism is that no countdown timer is present. Such a basic feature would have made this perfect.
I’ve been using this wonderful soup maker for about 9 months now and have nothing but praise for its eas of use and the control it gives you over the contents of your soups and smoothies / compotes etc ….. The book that it comes has many fantastic, very tasty and, if you are careful, low calorie options too. This does not detract from the taste of the soup and has helped me loose a lot of weight and I have the soup as my lunch with the smoothie as a treat or sometimes at breakfast depending on how I feel……
Excellent value for money, I was given a certificate from my aunt to get the soup maker for my birthday and it’s been one of the best birthday gifts ever. HIGHLY recommended this product and solid built too
All good and easy to use. This is my second Tefal soup maker. The previous model had a timer on it and this one doesn’t which is a shame. Otherwise, its all good.
Makes fantastic soup and after a couple of “followed” recipes, it’s easy to make up your own.
The only possible negative is that food can stick to base whilst cooking, but found that just one spray of One Cal oil or similar will stop this from happening, thus making cleaning unit afterwards so much easier.
Bought this a week ago. Definitely saves time in the kitchen and very easy to use. Some stuff slightly burns at the bottom, although I made sure I had added enough water.
How did I live without this … just used it …so fast and piping hot soup in minutes … just buy it people … I bought 2 one for me and one for my mum
Easy Soup Maker as it says on the box. Very easy to use followed the Beetroot soup recipe absolutely delicious to see how it works. Since then ive just been making my own up as i go Potato and Leek; Cauliflower and Broccoli; Butternut Squash and Sweet red pepper. Left over veg from a roast plus stock. In 20 – 25 minutes you’ve got a delicious fresh homemade soup. It says it serves 4 I would say as a starter, 2 as a hearty main meal in a soup bowl. Clean up just add water and a couple of drops of washing liquid press clean and it cleans itself. Highly Recommended.
I love soup so when I saw this I thought what a great idea it was then they have fresh soup every day. It’s so easy and convenient all you have to do is drop the ingredients in, fill it up to the measured amount with water or stock and then press the butto
Goes to the freezer, 2-4 types a week, and we are sorted.
Tips:
always put the oil on the buttom.
Use hot water for the required water quantity.
I use the blending for quick washing, but after jams, creamy soups it’s needs some proper wash.
Meat pieces should be cut into really small cubes…so I don’t bother, I make the soup and use the pan for meat.
Would I buy it again? YES, YES!
Great product. This is my 2nd soup maker in about 8yrs. Both different make’s. Only problem I have found with both of these Soup Makers is that if you make Potato & Leek or Lentil Soup they always stick at the bottom of bowl. Is this something to do with the Starch in the Veg.
Anyway the Tefal was by far the easiest to clean.
This machine is a god send, I have made soups from the recipe book that comes with it and they have all been great. I have made broccoli & Stilton soup a recipe I found online and that was really nice (and I don’t like Stilton lol) , this one does burn a little which isn’t a problem, I just put some fairy and hot water up to the max line and left for a while to soak. Would highly recommend this to all.
I gave this to my daughter and she loves it, so easy to use she’s made some lovely soups, has a 18m old and one on the way, she just chops up ingredients put it all in press start and carry on playing with Tommy, it ready when they are since it keeps warm.
Not had long enough to try other things yet.
The cleaning does not always get it fully clean and needs a wipe over as well.
This machine has a self clean programme which (basically) steam cleans by boiling water inside the soup jug.
It works! I have made a range of lovely soups, some thick and creamy, some thinner oriental soups and some lovely chunky vegetable soups. The programmes are easy to understand, simple to use and then the soup maker just gets on with its job.
I love it!
The unit is very well designed and easy to use
Cleaning takes longer than expected due to burnt residue requiring rough pad .
Not every time depending on type of soup being made,good value and would recommend providing you get some freezer soup bags as always make more than required. Always remover to season soup while cooking or can be bland compared to purchased soups.
Can you believe that, for someone who loves to cook, I’ve never made soup in my life?! Therefore, the idea of Santa bringing me a soup maker really appealed before Christmas. This gadget is SO simple to use and, for a first-timer, the soup I chose to make tasted amazing! There’s a nifty little recipe book included, just to get you going. Don’t overfill the jug above the MAX line (I tried to get away with it, however, the machine won’t let you go any further and the instructions DO tell you to respect the fill level). Great that it’s got a cleaning function, as equipment like this is are often a pain to wash. Soup has NEVER been so exciting!!
This soup maker is so easy to use with fantastic results after just 23 minutes. The instruction booklet is clear and concise and the choice of meals ideal for the hungry family. It is fantastic just to follow the instructions and serve perfect soups after a few minutes. Absolutely recommended for Christmas and any time a present is required.
Makes very good soup, not too noisy, disappointed at the amount of steam generated….I have to open the window and have the extractor going full on. Not good on a cold winters day, which was one of the reasons for making soup!! Amazed that none of the other reviews mention the steam problem. I wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known.
Easy clean, I do agree with some comments as the heater element under the base does burn deposits but it just means a little elbow grease cures the issue. It does make a lot of soup, two generous bowls with some left over. If you were producing soup as a starter it would provide enough for four people.
Early days but it has great potential.
the only down side for me is the option to keep your soup warm does create some residue which is actually quite difficult to get off even if you leave to soak for a while, so I wont use this option again.

I’ve just started making soups and this makes it so easy. Just chuck lots of spare veg in there with some garlic and stock and then get on with thinks. 25 minutes later you have a delicious soup. I then add a few extras – chopped parsley, turmeric, etc.
Very easy to clean. The clean setting doesn’t clean it perfectly, but a bit of a wipe sorts out anything left.
I also add some oil to the bottom of the jug and swish it about. This stops any burning.
I’ve never had one of these before, so I can’t compare it with another make. But I went on the recommendations, and they didn’t let me down.
I love this soup maker. I had another very popular make before and this far exceeds it. Easy to clean, quick and easy to use. I have used a little oil in the bottom to stop any burning and this has worked, apart from one occasion when I was making a soup with very little liquid and the ingredients stuck to the bottom. I soaked the inside with hot water and washing up liquid and it came away easily.
The cutter works from the top down so it needs to be able to push through the top layer of cut vegetables once that’s done it really is very efficient and makes about four decent bowls. Simple to use and simple to clean though do try to clean as soon after use as possible.
I was most disappointed at the carrier he was a day late and the package was very badly damaged though the contents appeared alright and it works well.
Brilliant! Healthy soups in just over 20 mins!! Chuck in ingredients and some stock and press the button and relax. Keep warm function in really useful. Once the soup is ready it automatically turns on to keep warm so soup stays steaming hot until you’re ready to eat!
Really easy to clean. I did run the wash function and still had to give it an extra clean in the sink. Just ran under hot water and used a sponge.
I bought this model after reading lots of reviews and am not disappointed at all.
After reading reviews of all of the soup makers I could find, I decided to buy this despite some reviewers stating that food sticks to the base . I haven’t been disappointed at all. It’s so simple to use and the self cleaning feature is fantastic. Being able to just throw in the ingredients and press start has saved me so much time . The blend feature worked beautifully for the smooth butternut squash soup I made and I’m looking forward to trying different recipes . So far , no food has stuck to the base but even if it does , I’ll still say this product is worth it !
Easy to use, just chop your veg or other ingredients and add water or stock for great soup. Only have two criticisms- it only makes three portions rather than the advertised four (I don’t think we’re being greedy) and cheese tends to burn on the bottom when making broccoli and Stilton soup for example. Next time I’ll make broccoli soup and add the Stilton afterwards. Quite bulky but it will be used a lot.
Bought this on a whim, very pleased with soup it produces, easy to use and no hovering over the hob, stirring to keep from sticking etc. Just chop up the ingredients add liquid, put the lid on press the required ‘buttons’ and 20 -25 minutes all done ready to eat, keeps warm-if you’re not ready to eat, cleaning is simple, obviously done by hand.as both pieces have electric components.
Nice thing, does the job as expected, fast cooking, doesn’t need much space. Put 4 stars, because some of ingredients always stick to the bottom during cooking, and you have to hand wash it well (even if you wash it immediately after cooking, or use Washing mode, or leave it with hot water inside for an hour).
Fully stainless steel inside including motor house unliked most other brands. It makes great soup if you get the combination of flavours right. I’ve messed up once.
However the recipe book butternut squash and orange recipe is lush. I was dubious but I love it. I just didn’t add quite as much sugar as it advised and gave the curry powder a big scoop as I like my spice. Lovely.
Blended soups come out perfect and I love using the chunky option for veg mix veg soup then mashing it in a huge bowl after it finishes! I can’t wait to use fruit pure option when weaning my baby and as for the self clean it’s a dream.
for smooth soup , well gourmet chefs would struggle to beat even with their commi chefs ,
overall a perfect product , use you own recipes and enjoy .
I like the product and the end result however, the clean up at the end is a bit of a pain. The Easy Soup maker sort of burns some of the soup at the bottom of the container and it can be very difficult to remove it with normal dish soap. I have found that a liquid stainless steel sink cleaner works very well on this problem. But once I have done that I always clean with normal dish soap to ensure no residual material is left behind before the next soup batch.
It does also have a self cleaning mode, which is handy but not 100% effective.
One of the best kitchen gadgets we have bought!
Pros :
– Easy to use
– quickly make soup for 4 people
– comes with some nice recipes to get you used to using it
Cons:
– If you don’t pour some liquid first (before your vegs in) you might end up with some burning food at the bottom.
– Also I found that the self-cleaning program only gave a bit of a rinse and I was much better off washing it by hand.
Overall, I would still recommend it to friends and family
Made various soups and all been excellent, if using onions we cook them before adding to extract the best flavour.
It doesn’t give off much steam and seems to operate fine in my hotel room. It is easy to rinse out. Perfect.
This is such a great product. Perfect for those who are time poor and need to make a fast healthy meal. Throw in some veg, seasoning and the rest is magic.
I looked-up quite a few soup makers before selecting this one. I chose this over the Morphy Richards because it’s smaller (taking up less room in the kitchen), simple to use and in my opinion much more stylish; no one needs an eyesore in a small kitchen.
Would highly recommend, it’s made winter healthy eating so much easier for me.
Highly recommend
Arrived quickly and well packaged. Made creamy tomato today and it tastes good, slightly burnt at the bottom and easy clean did not remove it. A little difficult to clean would be better if the jug was an insert which you could remove to wash properly in the sink. Made the vegetable one from the recipe it was fine but found it a bit bland something missing will probably use different recipes, but it did not burn must only be the creamy ones. Quite pleased as it is easy to use and does not take too long.
I bought this one to replace my last one which decided to pack up; I did like it for one thing, it had a glass jar where you see externally the min and max markers. The new Tefal has been used only 3 times and has proved satisfactory. The only niggle I have at moment, which is a minor one, is that being stainless steel jar, the max and min markers are inside and quite close together. To date I have only used the Creamed Soup and Cleaning programmes, but additionally it has Soup with Pieces, Compote and Blend programmes. I am quite happy with the machine so far.
