I stirred the onions a few times using the stir button, and then added broccoli florets and chicken stock. The soup cooked on high for about 15 minutes, and I lowered the heat to medium once it came to a boil. Once everything was cooked, I turned the heat off, added some seasoning and a little cream, and blended everything together. The soup tasted great and was one of the easiest things I’ve ever made. This appliance isn’t limited to making only soup. Similar to a food processor, you can chop nuts, crush ice, grind spices, make bread crumbs, or whip cream.
If the appliance does not perform satisfactorily due to defects in materials or manufacture, it will be repaired or replaced through Conair UK After Sales Service. So far, I don’t really have many complaints about this product. The only things I think I should point out are the size and a note about the timer.
Cuisinart’s soup makers are like regular blenders – with a heating function! This means they can do everything a well-built regular blender can, whether it’s whipping up smoothies or crushing ice cuisinart pots and pans set – plus more. From vegetable soups to spicy sauces, hot dishes are cooked and blended to perfection with Cuisinart cook-and-blend soup makers’ razor-sharp blades and built-in heating element.
Usually, combination appliances miss the culinary mark. Silicone bowls in which you can prepare food and then throw it in the oven to roast said food? But the Soup Maker is a shining example of a smart combination appliance. It’s easy to use and exceptionally versatile, too. And I’m not talking simply making soups, smoothies and shakes.
I used to own the TM21, and loved it, but I love the TM31 so much more, and use it HEAPS more! And I love the reverse function, and the wider, easier to clean bowl… and it just seems to be more powerful too. I just got a thermomix 3300 from my parents in law but have no manual and I have no idea what to do with it. My mom has got the latest model of thermomix and is loving it but she can’t help me with mine as it looks very different to her model.
Being able to program it for longer than 30 minutes would be handy. Once the mixture comes to a boil, or the time expires, stir to mix for about 15 seconds. Set timer for 30 minutes and temperature on Medium, stirring occasionally during the cooking process.
Since everything is cooked and blended in the blender, cleanup is a breeze. Great for using with frozen foods because of the heating component. If you have any questions, suggestions for future reviews or spot anything that has changed in price or availability please get in touch at
The blender has a plastic base with a glass container and even comes with a brush for cleaning (we’ve always hated cleaning our blender!). Last night, I made a cream of broccoli soup with the soupmaker. I heated up the heat plate for 10 minutes on the medium setting, then I added some oil and half an onion and raised the heat to the high setting.
I was curious whwther this would be a valid alternative for somebody not beeing able to shell out nearly 1K $. For me the built in scales are essential as well as the kneading function as I am mostly using the tm for making bread. All the rest comes as a more than welcome supplement – as you wrote sauces and stuff like curds are super easy woth the tm. I guess also the temperature fine tuning from 37C to 120C comes very handy (e.g. When melting chocolate for brownies). Your machine will STOP when the time has come and you’re cooking without temperature settings. If you’re doing something hot, it will stop heating so you won’t overcook your food but the blades will go on softly so that the bottom won’t be in permanent touch with direct heat.
