Hi Nonogran, that is something to think about I guess. Would the stock cubes be vegetable ones?

Forget messy pans and hand blenders! Morphy Richards soup maker is great. Just bung in whatever you want to make soup with and set to either smooth or chunky and get back to whatever you need to be doing.
I use a variety of stock depending on what sort if soup I'm making.

Hi midgey. I've never made soup before and I see a lot have raved about them on here.

Hello Welshy, I agree that a soup maker might be an expense you might choose to avoid. I think a hand whizzy stick blender thingy might suit you better? Also, do you have room on your worktop to store it, or cupboard space?
As for stock cubes, I favour Knorr as I find them more subtle in flavour but if I buy OXO I go for the reduced salt type & then season to taste.
I have just simmered a chicken carcase with onion and a Knorr cube. Makes a lovely basis for soup & means a roast chicken goes a long way. Bon appetit!

Are you sure you really need one? A hand held blender is a much cheaper option!

I'm looking to buy a Soup Maker any recommendations please? I live alone so I don't need a large one. Also what stock/cubes do you use?
