It is a bit difficult to “stir” one pound of uncooked, dry carrots with one blade. You might even need to use a silicone spatula a time or two before your liquids are added. Because this appliance functions as a hybrid slow-cooker, food processor, and blender, it’s something that deserves a piece of real estate on your kitchen counter. It’s the perfect gift for busy folks trying to find a little bit of extra time during this holiday insanity. This is where my latest obsession, the Cuisinart Blend and Cook Soupmaker, solves my soup dilemmas.

Turning the heat up to high and sealing the lid with the measuring cup, we left the mixture to cook.

Cold or simmering hot, soups are always on our menu. For local services, shopping, travel and Groupon updates.

Whoever came up with the advertising slogan, “Soup is good food” was spot on. And good for you, too, especially when you make it yourself.
