This great! So quick and easy to make proper soups. Just load and leave.
Discovering it also makes jam was a bonus.
It feels very strong and sturdy when you use it.
It’s a heavy piece of kit but that’s to be expected given how powerful it is. My grandson aged 8 is autistic and refuses to eat vegetables. I make smooth sauces loaded with hidden veggies in this and he’s looking much healthier. I love this beas
Jug is very heavy and difficult to rinse. Cleaning cycle about 90% effective. Odours from previous recipes apparent even after cleaning as per recommendation. However using a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda eliminates odours and gives a fresher finish to cleaning cycle. Overall a very robust and excellent kitchen aid.
I got this over Christmas when it was on offer, its been a great purchase, so far we have only used it for making soups which it does an excellent job at doing, its just so simple you can either use manual controls to or a set IQ button that does everything for you.
Also this blender is super powerful and chops things effortlessly. The jug is quite heavy, it needs to be due to how powerful it is.
I look forward to trying smoothies and milkshakes in the summer.
If you use any of the soup recipes in the recipe booklet, don’t follow the salt measurements, just season to taste.
1 tablespoon of salt!!!! lol
Absolutely proud of this purchase! So far i have made 2 smoothies and 1 soup since receiving it yesterday, the pumpkin soup tasted Absolutely wonderful and the consistency was amazing! Id deffo recommend this product. Xx
Initially I found the jug heavy but I’m getting used to it. I find this soup maker really trustworthy solid and reliable compared to my old which burnt out twice
This is absolutely brilliant. Throw any veg in, stock cube for delicious soup without all the additives. And it cleans itself. Very impressed
All in all not a bad product, does the job and does the job well, can chop, saute, smooth, make soups all very quickly and efficiently. My only 2 down points which made me give it 4 star is 1. It is a little louder than I would’ve liked, its not horrendous but not something you wanna be putting on at 7am if you live in a flat with neighbours underneath. And 2. It’s not the easiest thing to clean, the whole jug has to be taken off including the electric mechanism underneath which heats the soup, and you cannot separate that part. Which means it is not dishwasher proof, it cannot be submerged in water and so you have to be very careful when cleaning it to ensure you do not get any water in the bottom section. Which is not too bad if you are careful but the jug is quite heavy and so if you are not very strong it may not be very easy to hold and clean at the same time. For me, it would not stop me using it, but others may struggle more.
Love it!!! Ive been addicted to trying different recipes and they all have come out brilliantly. Don’t make the mistake of overfilling, I did and made a HUGE mess. Soup making has never been easier, and FAST. Most of the work if in your prep time. But I have been freezing lots of veg so I’m always ready for a new batch.
works well completes all its jobs very well, makes a v/good soup.
easy to operate.
but.. jug is very very heavy, needs two hands even when empty.
level markings on jug imposable to read with anything in it.
and you need ear muffs to use it, but to be fair all food mixers are similar.
Soup in 30 mins from scratch ….super fresh soup with a choice of smooth or chunky a n d then the machine…it cleans itself!!!
WHAT a gadget!! It is so nice to have freshly made soup without any starches or sugar. It’s super easy to use and clean and have used in at least twice a week since bought. I wouldn’t be without it!!
A heavy, solid machine – nothing light & plasticky about it – i do find it much easier to situate/plug in on worktop close to the sink as the jug itself is rather heavy hence less lifting.
Very pleased indeed I chose the Hinja
I received my soup/blender on New Years Eve and having never used a soup maker before my fingers were crossed that all the positive reviews had guided me to the right purchase, I’ve now made 2 different soups and today I made beautiful homemade strawberry jam, the unit has surpassed my expectations, LOVE IT !!!! all three took 30 minutes each to cook and the results were delicious, the leek and potato soup was amazing, its extremely easy to use, anything your making has a button for it so all you do is press it and let it do it’s magic afterwards the cleaning was a breeze, couple of drops of liquid soap, some water and switch it on to clean, all done for you, You do get a recipe book with it which covers some of the things you can make but I also purchased the Ninja blender/soup cookbook which has lots of great recipes, very pleased with my purchase.
Bought as a Xmas gift for my partner. She loves it, apparently it has transformed her life? I myself have been treat to soups and smoothies and they are as good as anything I have ever paid hard cash for so all positive! Easy to clean too!….I also got the recipe book to go with too, so that’s recommended also!
This is absolute God sent. It’s a must have in your kitchen. I have been using every day more than once making gorgeous soups, sauces all from scratch and tastes amazing. I am extremely happy to say that this is great way to top up the kids with healthy nutrition. Addicted. The only down side is, makes up to 4 servings for four grown ups , if you have bigger family to feed , it will be better to look for larger capacity, that’s the only negative, everything else is excellent.
Well very happy with this little boy so far. Definately some soups I can drop in and walk away bam 30 minutes
Later decent soup. The saut function is not great. Ok for a LITTLE chopped onion ,garlic etc but if your soup depends on most of it bring well sauted then I do it in a pan first but still it’s great to tip in the ninja and press smooth or chunky soup and walk away.
Done a few smoothies to an even used it to just chop some red onion I wanted for salad. You can’t have it all, but certainly you have most of it with this.
We brought this for the basis of blending food items such as milk shakes, smoothies, and other delicious beverages. The fact it heats as well has been a big bonus and we have made several delicious soups.
Makes great soup but is fiddly to clean as main glass blender is not dishwasher friendly.
If the glass came away from actual blending unit this would be 5 stars.
This is the only soup maker you will ever need, I can’t rate it highly enough. I use it every other day.
This is amazing. It’s not just a blender or just a soup maker. I love using this for the milk shakes (diabetes will most likely take my leg at some point but it’s a chance I’m willing to take). The missus loves to make soup and smoothies. And the self clean mode is amazing because which man likes cleaning!
Love this so much better than our last soup maker, haven’t tried other things in it yet, knocked a star off as cleaning not as easy as it says!
Fab, my only gripe is the fact it won’t sit under my units, I’ll have to find a home for the jug in one of my excessively overfilled cupboards! Its my favourite kitchen gadget tho! So far so good!
Within 24 hours we have blended pretty much every edible item in the house; I’ve just come back from a shopping trip where we’ve literally bought ingredients specifically to blend for recipes. This blender is pure magic and I’d recommend it to anyone.
I love this product. I have recently started having protein smoothies for breakfast and this comes in so handy. The product handles frozen fruit so well and makes smoothies in seconds. The cleaning process is so easy being able to fill it with water and dishwasher liquid and it cleans itself.
Great for soup sauces. The included recipe book a little light on content. Is performed really well in all tasks apart from making nut butter- took ages and the nuts were just blasted up the side, and the motor smelled smoky – but still works will not be using for that process agai
Absolutely fabulous. Don’t read the reviews click on buy now. This is the best soup maker ever. Brilliant blender and super quick smoothie maker. I use mine daily. No burned on the bottom soup any more. Cleans at the touch of a button too.
Very pleased withthis purchase. good quality item with a powerful motor. The preset saute, chop and soup settings make soup-making a doddle! The little recipe book gives you the broad outline of how to make smoothies, soups, sauces etc, and from there, one can really get versatile in using this machine for all sorts of delicious recipes!
Despite the jar being rather large, I am able to make really smooth Indian style mint/ corriander or coconut chutneys and grind various ‘masalas’ easily, thanks to the powerful motor and the tamper tool. The chop function can be used to shred fresh coconut meat to sprinkling consistency in seconds. Cleaning is very easy – a quick rinse followed the clean cycle usually does the job. My only complaint is that it doesn’t have a dry spice grinder. I hope that Ninja comes up with a little attachment for this!
This makes beautifully smooth soups and blends smoothies very well too. We find it easy to use and clean especially as it has a self-clean function. The only disadvantage is that the glass jar is heavy but it needs to be so that it is sturdy and can heat the soup. I would really recommend it.
The only reason it doesn’t get five stars is the gratuitously over engineered bowl which can’t be disassembled and can’t be put in the dishwasher. I know there’s a cleaning feature, but if you don’t want your milkshake to taste like tomato soup you need to hand clean, and that’s not the easiest (and you can’t get the base of the bowl wet). Great machine otherwise, you can make smoothies with frozen ingredients and create soups in four easy steps. And it’s good value at 1/10 of the price of a thermomix
Easy to follow instructions and easy to grasp quite quickly so you don’t have to have the book out every time. Makes a good quantity, the item is very sturdy and (I hope) should last a good amount of time.
Self clean is a great function. It mostly helps but obviously you do have to pour the dirty water away and rinse out any residue still especially from the top and the lid, but it still saves a lot of time and is better for the blade than manual washing.
My mind has been changed by this product, I won’t be going back to any other soup maker. Ninja have thought of everything here with this soup maker.
Love my Ninja Blender. It is so easy to use and it cleans itself at the touch of a button. The soups are so easy, no more spending ages chopping up vegetables. Smoothies are smooth and delicious.
Really easy to use and the smart functions estimate the cooking/blend time by weight which is really handy. I bought this on prime day and have made tomato sauce, pumpkin ginger soup & banana oat smoothie. The measurement markings make it easy to see how much I’m adding. I like how powerful the motor is, pulverises everything in that jug to bits! The saute function is not bad either. Only downside is the jug is very heavy being glass and hard to wash as the bottom of jug can’t be immersed in water. There is a handy cleaning function but you still have to empty the jug and rinse. I still use my small herb chopper for smaller quantities but use the ninja for everything else. Pic shown is the cleaning function switched on.
Just pop in ingredients select required setting then machine does the rest. I’ve not tried chunky soups as like mine blended but I just pop in onion/garlic select chop then saut, whilst it’s working prepare rest of ingredients add to the jug select smooth soups & have a tasty soup within 30mins.
Once finished with the jug add water & a little detergent & set it to clean so ready for next use.
Jug is quite heavy but needed if your making soup or sauces.
Making soup is so easy. It chops, Sauts the blends all the ingredients together and makes the perfect soups in 30 minutes, just leave it and let it do it’s magic! One full jug filled to the max line makes 4 good portions of Soup.
The cleaning function is also great! cleans the blades and about 90% of the jug, it just needs a wipe down after using it.
Absolutely perfect buy in every way and it looks good too! A very smart looking piece of kit! 5 out of 5. Buy it, you wont be disappointed!
I bought the Ninja soup maker on the recommendation of my friends and I am over the moon with it. I wanted to use a few times before posting a review and all I can say is that I have used it a lot more than just a few times! I have only made soups and they come out absolutely amazing. Very easy to use and to clean. This is my second Ninja product and I am pretty sure it won’t be the last.
This lives up to the advertising and the many reviews and videos on YouTube.
It is extremely easy to make fresh soup with this without any hassle and also ice cream ready for the freezer as well as smoothies and other drinks.
The jug is very heavy and gets hot so always pour soup using an oven mitt for support.
I would advise to empty the contents as soon as its cooked then put soapy water in, otherwise if you allow any soup to dry up in it, its harder to clean. I use a sponge to wipe around it and remove stubborn dried on bits.
can’t fault this blender as it as so much going for it, cleans itself inside, makes great smoothies. it is a bit heavier than others but that’s also a good thing & is non slip too.
I am really happy to make soup with this amazing blender.I just added all the ingredients and in half an hours time the most tasty and delicious soup ready to enjoy.And couldn’t believe.Its fantastic and I hope I will use many times in future. It deserves five star rating.
It’s worth the money.
Best blender EVER!!! Definitely worth every penny. I love it and av been experimenting with it ever since I bought them. If you don’t av this blender then u don’t av a blender.
This product changed my life-literally! I am in love with it, I make so much more healthier food and is amazing! Never been happier! I think this is the only product in my kitchen that I absolutely love! Great buy, can’t recommend enough!
Brilliant never had so many home made soups bit noisey when cleaning and a bit heavy but not a problem wouldn’t be without it the grand children love all the milk shakes
Obviously there are cheaper options but wow this feels industrial. Very easy to use. Soup being made and heated it was perfect. Really pleased. It is heavy and self clean can only do so much but zero regrets.
Amazing blender – it’s chops everything, blends like a dream and cleans itself. It’s the best item I’ve purchased in months!
Although it is a bit big and heavy – there is very little this Ninja can’t do! Highly recommended – everyone should have one.
Great blender with many functions. Only glitch is it’s a little loud for the neighbours! Still recommended though
Purchased this to replace an argos blender and soup maker which was on its last legs, a very substantial and hefty bit of kitchen equipment, well made and robust.. Nice quality throughou
What can I say, this thing is amazing. Its easy to use, the build quality is great, its has a self clean function for gods sake and best of all, frozen/slushy drinks in 45 secs, you just press a button and leave it to it.
Haven’t tried the soup function yet but I’m sure that won’t disappoint.
Expensive yes, worth it? Definitely!
and the people moaning about noise levels…………………..what did you think you were buying?!
I love this thing. it’s definitely made my life a lot easier when it comes to making soups. Works well and always produces well blended soups and smoothies. Love that it cleans itself too.
Recieved today finally 2nd time lucky 1at delivery I recieved empty box very strange but thank god it arrived today safely just made milkshake so happy with it thaks in love with my new ninja machine
This is a great device for any kitchen, it is so easy to use and clean it’s a dream come true. I feel guilty using this machine as I am useless in the kitchen, or, at least I thought I was until I discovered the ninja blender, now I’m a ninja warrior. Take my advice and get yourself one of these machines; you won’t regret it.
Picked up from Argos and tested on a few recipes, it delivers great results. However, I have quite a lot of experience in cooking so I did not follow any book recipes. What I like is throw everything in and come back when it’s ready.
The jar is thick glass and it is quite heavy so please bear in mind that handles it with sauce/soup might be challenging. A bit of advice – use saute function before cooking any soup or sauce, add onions, garlic, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and whatever you like to enhance the flavor of the end dish. Will I buy it again – Yes!
Not much to dislike on this one. My first blender so i done a lot of research and went for this one. I’ve since used it for blended smooth soups and many fruit smoothies, all of which have been fantastic.
The weight of the jug means to ‘lock’ in place but this is a non issue. It’s certainly secure.
The weight of the jug is not that bad, yes it’s weighty but no more so than say a cast iron roasting pan. It’s manageable.
The cleaning function is great, i thought i would struggle as you cannot submerge it in water to clean it but a quick rinse after use and then the self clean function followed by another rinse, brings it back to box fresh so don’t let that deter you.
Idiot proof to use so you don’t need to keep instructions to hand.
Looks sleek. It’s quite big but i think most appliances are nowadays.
Would recommend this one as ive had no issues and use it regularly.
My girlfriend loves this blender, she makes lots of soups and smoothies with it. She loves the feature that it keeps your soup warm for 30 minutes after it’s finished.
Only negative is that it’s very noisy at times, but I guess that’s to be expected.
My daughter recommended the Ninja to me after she purchased one – and have been equally delighted with mine. It arrived earlier than expected and have used it every day. I have been making my own soup now for many many years – but with Ninja am making amazing tasty soup – AND SO EASY. self-clean also a bonus. Will be recommending to everyone ! (Now I make smoothies too 🙂 ).
Well to be honest I’ve only made smoothies to date. Really bought to make soup, but weather too hot! But I am delighted with ease of use, specially self cleaning. Love it and highly recommend.
It is a bit noisy, but also very powerful. You can do everything in it – smoothies are perfect, soups are delicious – cooking book that comes with it is very helpful. Very easy to clean since it has a button that clean it for you.
Nothing bad to say about it.
I have so far made soups, chocolate fondue, smoothies and frozen drinks and they have all come out great.
My 11yr old son loves using it to make smoothies and frozen drinks too. It’s that fun and easy!
Very easy to use, just throw in the raw ingredients and hit the desired button.
Only had a week or so and already on our 4th soup, all freshly made and ready to serve.
Milkshakes and smoothies are really good too.
Very easy to clean, just add water with a bit of washing up liquid.
Nothing really negative to say, although it is a bit loud but that’s to be expected as it’s a very powerful bit of kit.
Really pleased with this blender and soup maker. It is powerful enough to make nut butters, and comes with a booklet of recipe ideas – including how to make soups. Can’t imagine life without it now!
I love this blender and wished I’d only had one sooner. The jug is quite heavy but I like that as makes me think I have a good substantial product that will last longer than a plastic jug
This really is a fantastic appliance to have in your kitchen, it is very versatile. This is really well built and although it is a bit pricier it’s definitely worth the investment. The jug is large and is made of solid glass, and the high speed motor can blitz through anything, even solid things like ice and nuts. As a blender, this is fantastic and works well for everything from drinks to dips.
There is also a built in heating element which allows for a couple extra functions – you can chop and saute ingredients in the blender, and then make either a smooth or chunky soup in 20-30 minutes by putting in all the ingredients and stock and pressing one button – I absolutely love how easy it is to make soup. The machine even stirs the soup every few minutes to prevent sticking. It comes with a guide to help you make your own custom soups.
As well as this there is a self-cleaning function which is so helpful – you put in a little washing detergent and water, and it will heat the water up and blend at high speed to remove any stubborn bits, basically like an internal dishwasher. This really cleans well.
Already I have been able to make smoothies, milkshakes, dips, sauces, soups and sorbet. I absolutely love this and it has helped me so much in the kitchen.
The only little things I would change is that the jug is pretty solid and heavy, this isn’t too much of a problem for me but I can imagine if you have arthritis or struggle with mobility this could be really difficult to handle, and also the base does not come off so it can be a bit of a challenge to clean – however this does come with a brush specifically designed for this and the self-cleaning function helps too.
All in all, this is a great product and a really handy piece of equipment to have in your kitchen.
Easy to use, have used it most days of week with great results. Only minor quibble is the noise it makes but it can be put up with considering the results obtained. Even made some duck pate with it, a bit more awkward to clean but again successful. A good buy robust and reliant, a bit on the heavy side but again manageable
This is an excellent blender. I’ve made hummus, peanut butter, desserts, soups. It is more than capable of blending nuts etc. Chopping and saute options are also amazing, you don’t even bother with a knife.
The self cleaning option is brilliant.
I cant find any faults with this machine but if I had to be picky and fussy… id say the soup could be a little hotter… but just let it cook for a bit longer and that fixes that tiny issue 🙂 overall, brilliant!!!
Love it! So many ways to use it! Love making soup in it and the self clean option, but it does take time clean it as you need to keep replacing water like 3 times to clean it. A bit uncomfortable to pour things out (drips a bit). But overall love this blender.
The soup maker / blender / multiple use product is fantastic. Just 30 minutes later after adding fresh vegetables, stock, herbs and spices and you have silky smooth soup. It is so easy to use. Chunky soup option is also brilliant.
This is an amazing gadget. Soups, smoothies and you can even make jam with it!! I’ve had all kinds of blenders and smoothie makers and this thing out smarts and out functions every single one. Freakin awesome!!!!
Although it has plenty of features, the soups I’ve made are not as good as my previous Morphy Richards soup maker.
Perhaps with a bit more experimentation I’ll master this and improve the results. Good for crushing ice and smoothies.
Great item, easy to use and if you take the brief recipe book as a guide rather than instruction, lots of great things to be made. For best results after use, wipe around the top of the just and lid before running the cleaning cycle.
Oh my goodness.
I LOVE it.
It is so easy to use. I was dying to give it a try so my first make was a carrot and coriander soup. I threw a quartered onion in and a tbsp of coriander seeds in…. Because I figured the test of the smooth soup would be the seeds at the end.
Chop function whizzes It round 3 times. The onion does slightly stick to the side.
Saute – the machine heats within seconds, you can see the steam on the glass and smell It cooking the onions quickly. My only thought is the onion stuck to the side is not getting heated as much.
Next I threw in 3 carrots chopped, 1 sweet potato, 1 veg stock pot, some fresh coriander stalks and about 900mls water.
Hit smooth soup and walked away.
It bubbles within a matter of seconds, and does a periodical mix through cooking.
In the last few mins it starts the blend process, low, med then high.
Ive never had soup so smooth!!! It was blended to perfection, not a coriander seed left in sight.
My quote to my husband was ‘this is my new favourite appliance’
I also made vegan parmasan which was blitzed cashews and spices. It made light work of that even though they weren’t pre soaked
Don’t think twice about purchasing this. You won’t be disappointed
Cleaning very simple, add water and a drop of washing up liquid and press the clean button, leave and come back a few minutes later and empty the jug, rinse and done.
If like me you want to get home from work and cook something quick but dont want the usual microwave meal, this is a must have. Tasty and quick
It is a solid piece of machinery and not light to use but I find that encouraging.
Registered with ninja, had a ref number, Amazon asked me to send it back and I did. Now just waiting for the refund.
We bought the soup maker after buying the ninja foodi, the ninja products are very well made and the soup maker doesn’t disappoint, so far I’ve made 3 soups, several hot chocolates, couple of sauces and used it to chop up everything for stuffing. It’s excellent I can’t say enough good things about the product and I’m sure I will continue to find many many uses for it over the Christmas period and moving forward.
When you take this out of the box you just attach the jug and plug in. It is really well packaged. You receive a recipe booklet which has good ideas all in UK measurements and ingredients- sometimes the recipes are USA themed so you don’t recognise certain ingredients.
Each smoothie and soup has a preset time to use and the book tells you if you need to manually intervene.
It looks good on the work top.
The base measures approx 9×8″ and it is approx 19″ tall so doesn’t take up too much space.
