As part of a blogger conference I attended called Blissdom Canada, we were able to choose from a variety of excursions to attend on the final day of the conference. I was lucky enough to get into the Ultimate Foodie Excursion, hosted by Lucy Waverman. Kathy is a busy mom of two teens who loves to cook tasty and simple food for her family and friends.

The $200 Cuisinart Soup Maker and Blender looks to streamline the entire soup process. Whether you’re a fan of bisque or borscht, French onion or oxtail, chowder or cock-a-leekie, there’s no denying the soothing feeling of a warm bowl of soup. When cooking time has finished, the blender will beep 4 times. To stir ingredients while cooking, use the Stir button.
The soup tasted great and was one of the easiest things I’ve ever made. Maria W.June 13th, 2013I love my cuisinart griddler elite when it works. Bought two years ago, had to send it back twice for faulty mixing action, it kept slipping or stop altogether. Now it has started faulty heating and takes three times as long. I used to keep it on high for 9 mins, then the rest of 30 mins on medium. No matter what vegetable I used it was always ready after 30 minutes.
Line the jug up with the base using the arrows, select the cooking duration and heating level, and you’re on the first step to soup. The glass jug itself is similarly well constructed, with the electronics slightly elevated from the bottom rim of the base to avoid damage, and a sturdy handle at the side. Measurements are marked on the front and back, while a snugly fitting lid, complete with removable measuring cup, pushes firmly on top to prevent excess steam escaping during cooking.

Meanwhile, in a and blender over low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, using the stir function occasionally, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium, add the carrots and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry powder, salt and pepper and cook, using the stir function occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the stock and bring the soup to a boil.
This is a slower rotation of the blades that’s used to mix food. Soup is also incredibly easy to cook, and a soup maker renders the process even simpler. While not exactly an essential kitchen item, a soup maker can save plenty of time.

This can be adjusted throughout the cooking process, but a time must be selected to start the heater initially. After my initial enthusiastic experiments I have used it about twice. It does make good soup but no better than I can make in other ways.
