I bought a soup maker and found it more trouble then it was worth. Gave it away. Saucepan and stick blender. Suffice. Good way to soften chopped onions is in a little oil in the microwave. Onions, can of tomatoes and some basil blended together makes a good soup. Spice it up with a dash of Tabasco. Spinach or pea soup can be made with frozen veg.
