What an amazing soup maker! It's so effortless to use and, let's face it, the weather is going to turn soon. This little gem is brilliant for preparing lunch for work.Simply pick up some fresh vegetables from the supermarket, follow the easy instructions, and before you know it, lunch is ready in under 30 minutes.The soup is delicious, the process is hassle-free, and cleaning up afterwards is straightforward too.I would definitely recommend this as a great gift for yourself this winter. You won't be disappointed!

This has to be one the best kitchen gadgets I own! I have made lots of delicious soups in this maker, its very easy to use. I had a problem getting it to work first time and you have to make sure you don't overfill it with liquid as theres a sensor on the inside of the lid which detects if its too full and it wont work! I thought mine was faulty so I googled it and the best way to use it is: Put your veg in first making sure its chopped to a decent size and doesn't go above the max line then add your liquid ensuring the soup doesn't rise above the max line, if it does it wont work, as a general rule I use around 800ml of liquid and iv never had a problem with it working since the first attempt. You can select smooth or chunky, if you select chunky it cooks for 28mins and you then have the option to blend it if its too chunky, you can make smoothies in it too which iv never tried. I put the ingredients into the maker and leave it to do all the work, smooth setting takes 21 mins. It serves 4 people depending on how much you eat. Its very easy to clean, just warm soapy water making sure you don't submerge the electrical parts of the maker, it saves on washing up a large pan/food blender etc. It makes a noise when its blending but that's normal. My friends have bought this item since I bought mine it is really good. I would recommend this maker but make sure you follow my steps when you first use it.

I got this as it was recommended by a friend. I was surprised at how big it was at first. I made my first ever homemade soup, butternut squash, sweet potato and carrot and set it for puréed soup. After adding all the ingredients I turned it on and it started heating up like a kettle and it kept going, steam coming out from the lid like a boiling kettle, this is just normal so you need to make sure the area is ventilated and away from sockets or anything not heat resistant, then the blender part kicked in for a couple of seconds, it boiled some more then blended again for a minute or two and voilà soup was ready. It is so easy to use, just dice up your veg before adding with stock and switch it on, twenty minutes later you have a lovely streaming hot batch of soup. The cleaning part was just as easy as the cooking part, a quick wash out, not suitable for the dishwasher and it's done. The instruction book has ten recipes at the back to help get you started if you need some inspiration. I would definitely recommend this item but remember it sounds like a boiling kettle, with steam coming out, until the blender part kicks in, then it gets a bit noisy but not overly loud. Definitely recommend

Had to return the first one after a few months. Whilst this is an amazingly simple to use and lovely soup maker it decided to blow the electrics in the whole house one day during usage! It stopped working and did everything in the house ... it would appear electricity doesn't like moisture / steam / dampness! Reason it blew was... steam had entered the electrical joint between lid and main unit. I phoned the number provided in the user manual leaflet. A Morphy Richards number. They were very helpful. Discussed problem. They were insisting it was faulty and mustn't be used again. This obviously because they were nervous of serious electrical injury. With no quibbles gave me the Amazon direct dial number with an Amazon contact name also. This route gave the option of a refund or replacement through to Amazon. Morphy Richards did say that if in future the purchase was made direct with Morphy Richards they would give a better price and a full refund or replacement if a problem, without the cost of returning the goods if a refund was requested. As it was Amazon were happy to replace the goods, but if I wanted a refund and no replacement I would have to pay the return postage. So arranged replacement with the cost of return of the old one being met by them. So... on our second one now... which is making wonderful soup. Though the costly part of the experience was that the blowing of fuses in the house, destroyed the 'sure signal' phone device, which cost us to replace and weeks of aggro with the phone provider for this device! A good appliance, wonderful soups, but comes with potential problems!

I was recommended this soup maker by several people who said it would be a good option for my kitchen. I wasn't convinced, as surely I could make soup without the help of another gadget. However they were absolutely right and this has been one of the best purchases I've made. Setup really requires no thought at all. It comes with a large jug, a lid with the blade attached, and a power cable. There are two buttons on the lid, one to change the mode, and the other to start. I've made all kinds of soups in it using both the smooth and chunky settings. I also really like that there's a blend option so if I change my mind about a chunky soup, I can blend it without having to heat it again. This has also enabled me to get rid of my existing blender as I can use the soup maker in place of it. The jug has a large capacity and I get multiple very generous portions out of it with minimal effort at all. I think it's encouraged me to be more creative with the soups I make as I am having to think less about cooking and so the small investment of time feels worth it when trying something new. It is also easy to clean, though do be aware of the port for the cable on the bottom edge of the jug. I've had this soup maker for around a year and a half now and it works as well as it did when I bought it. It's especially good quality given the price, and I get excellent use out of it in winter.

It works, won’t need to buy tinned soup, make you own tasty very tasty

Perfect easy to use and easy cleaning too

I bought this after a relative recommended it without checking any reviews. It arrived and I read the instructions, all common sense and easy. Made my first soup no problem, next day made another soup, I thought the product was going to take off, it went into overdrive with the boiling, eventually did a brief blend then took off again with another boiling session, then silence and it showed resting mode on the screen and 8 minutes from completion the screen went blank. I turned it off uncoupled etc and tried again, nothing totally dead, it did briefly light up but then died a death. I contacted Amazon and they were really helpful, gave me number for Morphy Richards Customer Service who listened, then sent me an email, and I had to go through exactly what the low star reviewers (I checked after the fact) had happen. I didn't want a replacement of this and any other kettle type soupmaker, totally lost confidence with this style, so asked Amazon for a refund which they did and I purchased a more expensive, completely different style, but a more fit for the job, soupmaker. I did, after I had returned the product, get another email from Morphy Richards asking for a video of the machine of what the issue is so they can help me. I am struggling to understand how a video of a dead machine would help them or me.

Great product, simple to use.

Great and Awsome Product. Quality is really good

It didn't work and seller didn't reply to my messages. I needed to contact amazon to get the refund.

Very very disappointed.....plug is not AUSTRALIAN....

Unfortunately it arrived complete with an English power cord even though I ordered it on Amazon AUSTRALIA. Luckily my slow cooker power cord fitted it. It makes great soup so I’m happy with that.
