I have never used a soup maker before so I was both excited and a tad nervous to review the VonShef jug soup maker from Domu. It looked pretty straightforward to use and was unintimidating – hurray!. It was the size of a kettle and the instructions were clear so I set to work straight away.
I looked at few soup recipes online to get a general ideas and decided to have a go at my own using what I had in my fridge. That’s the beauty of soup isn’t it you can use it bits and bobs in it really easily and avoid waste.
Creamy broccoli soup
I had lots of unused veg in the fridge so simply grabbed 1/3 of a head of broccoli, a large potato and a small red onion. I copped all of these into 2 cm cubes and added them to the metal jug I also used 2 tablepsoons of quark (no fat soft cheese) and 500ml of water. I like smooth rather than chunky soup (tough there is that option too) so \I simply set the soup maker to smooth and it does all the rest , the chopping, blending and heating.
That’s it, it really could not be easier.
25 minutes later it was done. Delicious! A really healthy winter warmer.
The soup maker can also act as blender for juices and purees so it is really useful multi functional kitchen gadget.
Would you like to see it in action?
The VonShef is available from Domu at £34.99
By the way Domu sell some wonderful home appliances and have great sale on so do check them out.
