Whilst it's not a kings ransom, all you need is a stick blender (or jug blender) and a saucepan to make soup (and I lurve kitchen gadgets)....

I didn't realise you could get soup makers, not sure what they'd do over a pan and a blender. Incidentally I got my blender (a hand held one) from Aldi and it's very good.

As for recipes, they pretty much all start with softened onions (or apples if you're intolerant to onions) and then I tend to chuck in whatever is going off in the veg rack. Together with something like mustard seeds or fennel etc. And pearl barley, I love pearl barley.

Sweet potato, chicken, and stilton is a favourite soup in our house.

+1 for the stick blender, best £15 I've spent in years. Just doing a batch of curried carrot and parsnip as we speak.

Another vote for the pan and stick blender method here.
Another vote for carrot and parsnip too, just loaded the freezer with a batch.

Mrs SD has a soup maker,its currently on at the moment, carrot & corriander. She loves it, appartently a lot less hassle than a pan & blender. Just chuck everything in & 20 mins later your soup is ready

All I need for soup is a tin opener.
Which is not an entirely flippant remark.
Soups from the likes of Campbell's and Baxter contain good ingredients, and are an excellent base to add to for that authentic home cooked taste.

Does the stick blender actually blend carrots ?
We have one and we have a blender. I like the soup maker, chuck everything in and switch on ! Carrot and corriander . I think it will be fine for all veg soups etc. We made our Stilton soup in it and CHristmas. I`m also now on the prowl for new slow cooker, one with a timer etc. ALDI do have one this week I think !

We have one, Missus does all the cooking so not sure what goes in it but it's always veggie as she doesn't eat meat.
Only criticism is it comes out fully blended so it's like baby food and I prefer more lumps in mine.
As for needing one, of course you don't but do you really need an automatic washing machine or a vacuum cleaner? people got by before they were invented.
Just easier.
