“Fantastic
”
by Amanda
I honestly couldn't see why my mother wanted one of these so badly. After all, how hard can it be to cook a soup in a pan and then whizz it? But I have to say, having given her one for Christmas, it's been more than a success. She makes soups almost daily and as ridiculous as this sounds, they are more delicious than any she has made before. Not sure whether it's the intensity with which the basic ingredients are fried first or perhaps the way they're cooked in the lidded jug, keeping flavours in but whatever the reason she's thrilled and loves the fact it's all in one. A huge success.

“Wish I'd bought this sooner
”
by Sue
I dithered over buying this product, as it is quite a lot of money, and finally treated myself for my birthday & Xmas in December 2011. I really wish I'd bought it when I first saw it, it makes perfect soup, every time, and is really versatile. Only gripe is that the heating plate is quite hard to clean properly.

“2 disappointments
”
by Ann
This is superb at making wonderful soup. HOWEVER, I am terribly disappoinyed that the glass jug is not removable from the base so that it can be properly washed. However much I fill it with water and whizz it it doesn't clean as well as in the sink. I still have to finish it off over the sink. I also find the frying action causes sticking and prefer just putting everything in and boiling, then simmering then blending. It makes lovely soup very quickly. Still disappointed about the jug though! hence only 3 stars

A note from the team: Thank you for placing your review.We're sorry to hear you are disappointed when cleaning the Cuisinart Soup Maker.It is true that the jug can not be separated from the base. This is due to a risk of leakage when screwed back together again. The suggested method of cleaning is to pour some warm soapy water into jug, put the lid on and turn on simmer for 2 mins, then blend for 1 min. This will loosen food particles etc then pour out dirty water and repeat if necessary.To clean the blades and element safely, we recommend using a long-handled washing up brush and hot soapy water. One of our professional washing up brushes (Reference 9289) would be perfect. Another customer recommended to pour a little olive oil into the jug and then heat it on low for two minutes before adding onions/garlic or whatever is the base ingredient in your soup to avoid the food sticking on the frying function. That sounds a great tip!
“Wow a gadget worth having
”
by Jane
I received the soup maker as a surprise Christmas present as I am slightly addicted to a kitchen gadget. I cannot speak highly enough about this soup maker. In fact this is the first review I have ever written anywhere. It is so quick and easy and makes the most delicious soup. I love the fact that everything is made in one machine. Even the cleaning is great. It is much easier to clean than any other blender that I have owned. But the one main thing I am so impressed with is that you can also make the most amazing pasta and curry sauces. I never need to buy ready made again.

“CUSINART SOUPMAKER - FANTASTIC
”
by ROSEMARY CANNON
Purchased this recently. Absolutely no problems. Came in today & in 30 minutes had piping hot delicious mushroom soup for lunch. I would never have believed just how easy this is to use and it really does do everything it says & all in one goblet with no mess or loads of pans to wash. We regularly have home made soup now & my husband loves it. Just remember to follow the instructions & you will have no problems with food sticking to hot plate and only fill to 1.4 ltrs as advised & you won't get soup flying out when blending. I would recommend it to anyone

“Easiest peice of kitchen equipment
”
by Lisa
This is the best way to make homemade soup,it is so easy... all done in just 30 mins. Fantastic nutritional soup, great way to use up any leftover vegetables and meat. I read all the reviews prior to purchasing this item and since using this product I cannot understand the negative comments re cleaning. It's so simple. Rinse straight away, put washing up liquid in it, simmer for 2 mins, then blend for 1 min. It's all in the instructions. Simples!

“Do not lend it!
”
by tracey
Having purchased one a few months ago my daughter borrowed it to make soups for her young family and for her to take nutritious soups for herself to work. Having loved it so much she held it to ransom and so I have just had to buy another.

“Excellent product - would thoroughly recommend
”
by Miss Liff
I have found this product to be excellent, really good quality and they really seem to have thought of everything, I love the glass jug that makes it so much easier to clean and the fact that it heats up so fast, making cooking speedier. I have had no problems with food sticking - I always pour a little olive oil into the jug and then heat it on Low for two minutes before adding my onions/garlic or whatever is the base ingredient in my soup. I also rinse it out straight away after pouring the freshly made soup out. A brilliant product and would thoroughly recommend it.

“Not Worth The Money
”
by Mrs Hartley
I bought this because we love homemade soup & I wanted a sturdy large blender. (I remembered my mother's glass blender). I foolishly believed the advertising blurb but I have been SO DISAPPOINTED. It's very heavy. It's difficult to clean without slicing one's fingers (the jug does not separate from the cutter-base) whether or not it has been used to cook soup. It fails to blend all the cooked veg, even soft items like broccoli. It only cooks small quantities, just over half a jug, not enough for a family. To cap it all the jug has cracked so it is now useless.

“Excellent Product - Expensive But Worth It !
”
by Mrs lyon
We purchased this soup maker last year shortly after my husbands return home from hospital. He was diagnosed with mouth cancer & underwent extensive surgery to reconstruct his tongue and radio. Needless to say eating was incredibly difficult for him. The Soup Maker was so simple to use even my children could make their Dad a hearty bowl of soup. We tried many recipes & all loved the Broccoli & Stilton one. We could add as many fresh ingredients as we wanted to help him get all the correct nutrients to help his recovery. This is NOT one of those gadgets that gathers dust on your worktop !!

“AMAZING PRODUCT
”
by Mrs AMOS
This Cuisinart Soup Maker is so much more than an excellent soup maker, it makes starters, dips, dressings, sauces, pastes, desserts and drinks, and it is incredibly easy to operate and gives superb results. I'm buying one for each of my grown up sons this Christmas.

“Great product - and now discovered easy cleaning
”
by Mr Salt
For soup making without a dirty blender AND a dirty pan, this is the best, and to those who have difficulty cleaning it, try hot water and a dishwasher tablet. Just give it a whizz and then let it soak for an hour - much more effective than washing up liquid.

“I love this soup maker
”
by Mrs Lannigan
I purchased this product less than a week ago, and as a family we are completely over the moon with it. The soups are gorgeous (carrot and coriander is so scrummy). We have also been using it as a smoothy maker and once again over the moon with it. As for the cleaning, I put water in and a tiny drop of washing liquid in it and stir then blend for about a minute. Empty out rinse with clean water and the jobs done.

“Non stick
”
by Mrs France
I received this as a birthday present and am extreemly pleased with it so far. I did however burn some onions, which was entirely my own fault. The burn did stick, however I managed to remove it without need to scrub and damage the bottom. firstly I set it on hot to dry it, this removed some of the debris, I then put a small amount of water in the bottom, put it on to boil again, then I turned the blender on for a minute, I found all the debris came off. The general washing of it is a breeze, just dont overfill it, and to reach the top of the jug just increase the speed of the blender!

“Fantastic soupmaker!
”
by Carolyne
My children gave me the Soupmaker for Christmas - what a wonderful present it has proved to be! It is so easy to use and the results are delicious soup every time. The time saved by being able to cook, blend and reheat in the same container is huge. I find cleaning it very easy. I am experimenting with lots of different ingredients and flavours with excellent results. I highly recommend the Soupmaker.

“fantastic product
”
by Irene
This was an expensive item and I was reluctant to purchase it but I'm so glad I did. It makes soup making so desperately easy and from start to finish the whole event is in one unit. What could be more convenient? Even the veggies don't need to be precisely chopped as the soup gets blended after cooking. Lifting the jug is a two handed job but so easy and washing the contraption is a doddle. The machine is permanently out and used on a frequent basis both for soups and cold blending. Brilliant!
