I looked a soup pot for a few year, unsure the cheaper one. This year, I saw this pot on Amazon, no shop in Aus sell this model and in discount price and in stainless steel finished. We love creamy soup, quick and ready to eat within 30-60 mins. Normally, I have to make a day before in big pot and have a few days, have to keep stiring, not burn the bottom. This pot its quick and enough for two, not four. Recipe book is not good choice for simple pumpkin soup. I used my own mixer then fill in below MAX line, add water or chicken/veg/water stock to Max level or below Max a bit (not overflow), Perfect soup. Love Creamy Soup. Love easy clean system too, pour a bit water and pour out the left over inside, then fill in water and press easy clean and let it dry then keep it away.

A French friend (an accomplished cook) has had one for years and she swears by it. I’ve made soup the traditional way for years and resisted buying a machine to do the job, but it was on offer on Amazon recently so I took the plunge. Where it particularly scores for me (with a small kitchen) is:
1-pot solution – load, switch on and leave it Easy to clean up afterwards Automated programmes (basic eg smooth, with lumps, compote)
I like my soups both smooth and with lumps. The latter is easy to make in a large pan of course, but this soup maker scores for me when making smooth soups because I don’t have to mess about with my food processor or stick blender. It just cooks and blends automatically, and the soup stays warm if you’re not quite ready (in addition to the Keep Warm function).
I never considered myself a soup person, but during a stay with friends, they served soup daily using the Tefal Easy Soup and Smoothie Maker. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up buying one for myself! Now, I love making delicious, flavorful soups that are so easy to prepare.
I’ve also tried making a compote with it, and it’s far better than using a pan or microwave. I think it works like a mini pressure cooker, but whatever it is, it’s easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made!”

I have wanted this item for ages, and finally decided to purchase it, once it was on sale.
It is very straight forward to use. It did take a few goes to get the flavour of the soup just right, but once I got the hang of it, the time and effort I am saving is immesurable. I am literally flinging ingredients into the soup maker and pressing start. It is a joy to use.
For anyone wondering how to make soup delicious, you need lots of seasonings. In a pinch, a good stock cube, dried herbs, salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil are the extra ingredients needed for a decent, quick soup. If you have more time, roasting your vegetables, or browning garlic and onion BEFORE sticking it into the soup maker, makes such a difference, but 9 times out of 10 I am just whacking it all in and letting the Tefal Soup Maker do the job. Yesterdays leftover garlic potatoes or chicken thrown in, makes all the difference too.
I am really pleased with both the smoothie function, and the puree function. I have always wanted to be able to make my own apple sauce (which keeps in the fridge for a week, if in an airtight container) and now I can do all of this with one gadget.
The only function I am not impressed with, is the “chunky” option (or soup with pieces), as this literally just heats the ingredients up. I thought there would have been a light blending function at the end, so it resembles a soup, but although the items get cooked and soft, the end result is more like a stew. Although, in the Tefal soup makers defence, there is a blend function at your finger tips. As long as you let it blend for one cycle, and pull the plug out 1/3 of the way through, it comes out perfectly.
The cleaning function is pretty good, although you will need to wipe down with a cloth in some areas, which is not the end of the world. Some maintenance is required, as with all machinery, and it’s very easy to do. The water does spill over the top sometimes, when the cleaning function is running, so my tip is to fill the water under the minimum line (only for cleaning though!) and it reduces this issue.
For anyone talking about the machine short-circuiting the electrics in the house – make sure you do not have this plugged into an extension chord! I had this issue with a different make and model (which I returned, not Tefal) and these machines can do this when plugged into an extension chord, or when plugged into a socket that is used by a large appliance. Try to keep the plug socket free from other devices, and this should resolve this issue.
I have bought toastie makers, waffle makers, rice cookers, air fryers, but this soup maker is the only one I am consistently using on the regular. So happy with my purchase. I hope it lasts for a long time.

love the machine that the bottom can be removed for deep cleaning, and the glass are firm and steady.

Amazing it’s easy to use clean and makes the perfect soup with no fuss at all. Wish I bought this sooner. You literally just cut up your ingredients add stock choose your setting and it beeps when it’s done. Perfect every time.

It’s a perfect hot and cold blender I ever had for soup and everything else ❤️ blend my soup till full smooth. It’s not noisy like my Ninja blender and it’s easy to work with it. For me this blender is the best one on the market 😍

It could be because I use lots of spices and stock cubes, but even dissolved in water and despite adding oil first (as some reviews have suggested) it tends to burn. First time it was difficult, almost impossible to scrub off and I was discouraged and was put off using it again. However, tried soaking just the burnt area in a few sprays of cillit bang for a few minutes and it scrubs away very easily. I usually make a larger quantity of soup in a stock pot, but this is so much easier and quicker for during the working week. No standing over the pot sauteing and stirring- the taste seems just as full bodied. On balance it was a good purchase, especially at the discounted price, and I will use it often for speedy, little effort soups but with the cillit bang cleaning tip.
An update after using frequently. The taste of the soups with just the desired vegetables, an onion and stock is incredible, so much better than in a saucepan. I’ve learned to add my dry spices at the end, though the flavour is amazing without all of that, and it rarely burns now. I also rinse out the jug straightaway before anything gets dried on and it only takes a couple of minutes.

Ayrıca çorbaya konulabilecek şey sayısı sınırlı, çünkü kolayca dibi tutuyor ve bozuluyor. Lezzeti de gerçekten çok kötü. Açıkçası memnun kalmadım. İşten yorgun gelince yaparım diye almıştım ama dondurulmuş çorbayı mikrodalgada ısıtmak daha iyi fikir. Tavsiye etmiyorum

Recommended.
The user guide has some quite good recipes, but it’s worth investing in a recipe book too – I bought this one because it’s the one my friend uses but there are no doubt some good English-language ones available too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/2035973864?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
