Homemade soup your way
We’ve designed your Soup Maker so that it’s even easier and
quicker to make homemade soup to your own individual taste,
with the minimum of fuss. All you have to do is place the
ingredients needed for your favourite recipe inside your Soup
Maker. Then it’s as simple as selecting either the smooth or
chunky soup setting, depending on your preference, and then
waiting a few minutes for your Soup Maker to blend and gently
cook the ingredients for perfectly delicious homemade soup.
It really couldn’t get any simpler!
Using your Soup Maker
Your Soup Maker has 2 settings to make 1litre of either smooth
or chunky soup. There is also a separate manual blend function.
Select your choice of programme:
Smoothly does it...
The smooth soup programme (8) is perfect for delicious soup
recipes requiring a smooth consistency, like Roast Plum &
Tomato soup. The programme ensures the ingredients are
blended to the right consistency, and gently cooked at the right
temperature. The programme lasts for 15 minutes, before the
soup is ready to serve & enjoy!
(see diagrams 1-8)
Get chunky!
The chunky soup programme (9) is perfect for rustic soup
recipes requiring a chunkier consistency, like Winter Lamb &
Lentil Broth. The programme ensures the ingredients are heated
for longer to ensure the chunky ingredients are fully cooked. The
programme lasts for 25 minutes, before the soup is ready to
serve & enjoy! For chunky soup there is no blending process,
just heating. It is therefore recommended that you cut any
vegetables into small dice sized pieces.
A perfect blend!
Allows you to further-blend the soup to your desired
consistency, if required. This function works without additional
heating of the soup.
The benefits of homemade soup
Because homemade soup tastes so great, costs so little, and is
so good for you, it’s really hard to fault it!
Scratch it!
Scratch cooking is the best way to prepare healthy, wholesome
food that the whole family loves. It gives you complete control
over the food you eat, because it involves cooking from the
most basic ingredients and helps you to avoid all the
preservatives, flavourings, and other nasties found in processed
foods.
Batch it!
Batch cooking is great because it allows you to cook up a
batch of wholesome food, and pack it away in meal-sized
portions that can be refrigerated or frozen, locking away all the
taste and nutrients ready to enjoy later in the week.
Don’t waste it!
In the UK we waste up to 8.3 million tonnes of food every year,
most of which could have been eaten. Whether its forgotten
chicken from Sunday lunch, or a lonely tomato tucked away at
the back of the fridge, you can always rustle-up a fantastic
homemade soup recipe using the leftover food loitering around
your kitchen that would normally go to waste.
Soup Nutrition
Homemade soup couldn’t be better for you, and depending on
the recipe, can provide a full range of health-giving nutrients
including vitamins, minerals, carbohydrate and fibre. But best of
all, homemade soup is simply delicious! For an extra vitamin
and mineral boost with added fibre, why not include locallysourced, fresh seasonal vegetables? You can even supercharge
your soup with slow-release carbohydrates by including precooked whole-wheat pasta pieces in the recipe.
