Don't waste your money!! A good big pan and a whizzer (if you want smooth soup) are more than enough.
There are are too many gadgets that we apparently cannot live without (despite managing quite well for decades) mostly to be found in Granny Porn - otherwise known as the Lakeland catalogue.
I have succumbed to the ice cream maker, the slow cooker (actually really useful) the bread maker - also useful but trying not to eat bread so hmmmm.

I use a pressure cooker which is fast and makes excellent soup. If I want a smooth soup, I use my hand blender - need a new one because the cheap one I bought in Tesco two years ago keeps coming apart. In my small house, an electric soup maker would just take up space on the worktop which is also why I have never bought a bread maker.

I didn't know there was such a thing, pammygran, I usually whizz my soup with an electric blender.
