🥣 Soup maker soup
A soup maker is such a handy gadget when you are short of time or don't have the energy to spend 15 minutes chopping veg.
Yes, you can make soup in a pot and I do regularly, but my soup maker still gets used quite a lot.
Sometimes I whizz up some soup in my soup maker while cooking dinner, then it's ready for the next day.
So easy and it only takes a couple of minutes to dump all the ingredients in the soup maker and hit start and of course, it doesn't take room up on the cooker top (stove top), where you are cooking other things.
It's also good if you are very tired or not feeling well, as it doesn't require much effort and less washing up.
Quick, healthy soup in minutes!
Try this soup-maker mushroom and leek soup or this soup-maker baked potato soup next and don't forget this creamy cauliflower and fennel soup or a harissa sweet potato soup.
💭 Which soup maker?
The first question I'm asked when I talk about soup makers is which soup maker do you have?
I have the Morphy Richards Clarity Soup Maker. which has a clear jug and I love it.
It's easy to use with three main buttons, smooth, chunky and clean options and a start button.
However, buy a soup maker that matches your budget.
If you are being careful with your money, check charity shops, supermarkets and sales for bargains.
They all pretty much do the same job.
🥣 Fat-free soup
Another good thing about making soup in the soup maker is it is generally fat-free.
When cooking soup in a large saucepan or soup pot, you usually start by sauteeing the onion and garlic in olive oil. but as you skip this step with a soup maker, it means your soups are fat-free and lower in calories.
Of course, adding some cream when you serve the soup will add a little fat.
⭐ Why this soup is so good
I think you are going to love this soup. Let me persuade you!
- Quick - ready in just over 20 minutes
- Minimal chopping - you only need to cut veg into big pieces, no dicing required
- Fat-free - no oil added
- Low calorie - only 64 calories per portion with a swirl of cream and 60 calories per portion without cream
- Healthy - full of nutritious vegetables
- Simple ingredients - the type of ingredients you are likely to have in the fridge or cupboard
- Tasty - it tastes delicious
- Freeze it - can be chilled in the fridge or frozen

🥪 Make soup into a hearty meal
If you are something on the side of the soup, you can turn it from a light lunch into a more filling and comforting meal.
Of course, you can serve it with some crusty bread or whatever bread is in your bread bin, but here are some other serving suggestions.
- Spicy bean burrito
- Quesadilla
- Grilled cheese sandwich
- Garlic bread
- Cheese & onion sandwich
🌡️ Cool that soup!
Before storing your homemade soup, you need to cool it.
Putting hot or warm soup in the fridge or freezer will lower the temperature, which can spoil other food.
Pour it into an airtight container, with the lid off to cool quicker, then once cool add the lid securely and either chill in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for 3-4 months.
Remember to label and date the tub first, if you are freezing the soup. I pop a label on the base of the tub, where it looks less messy, but you can still check it.
