How we tested soup makers
Photography: Anya Gilbert / Good Food
Smooth setting: We followed the basic instructions to make our carrot & coriander soup in order to compare texture, taste and ease of use.
Chunky setting: We also tried at least one of the manufacturer’s chunky recipes as, depending on whether this setting blended or simply heated, results could vary. We also wanted to see how good the provided recipes were!
Other settings: We took the machines through their paces, trying a variety of other settings and functions – from smoothie making to grinding – to get an idea of how versatile the machines really were.
Why you can trust Good Food reviews
Our team of product-testing experts at Good Food has reviewed a wide range of soup makers over the last five years, using our strict testing criteria to put each gadget through its paces.
Every product is reviewed in the Good Food Test Kitchen, which is set up to replicate the average home kitchen rather than a lab-like setting. That means we can guarantee that if something performs well in our kitchen, it should in yours too.
We also don’t share reviews with manufacturers or retailers before they’re published, and we never accept payment in exchange for positive reviews, either.

Morphy Richards Clarity 1.6L soup maker
Available from Morphy Richards (£89.99), Amazon (£79.98)
Best soup maker
Pros:
- Quality for the price
- Fold down handle
- Keep warm function
- Light Tritan plastic jug
- 11 recipes
Cons:
- Most needed two cleans
- Smoothie needed several blends
Star rating: 5/5
Straight from the box, we were impressed by the Morphy Richards soup maker, which has a maximum capacity of 1.6 litres. The soup maker is also sturdy, yet much lighter than expected, thanks to its Tritan plastic jug — a plastic tougher than glass, which does not scratch or stain, and is BPA-free.
There are two outstanding features we loved here: a ‘keep warm’ programme, helpful for second helpings or latecomers. And the handle on the lid folds down and tucks away into the rim of the lid, making storage of such a large machine much easier than many.
We had no complaints with either soup; both were tasty, with great texture in the smooth tomato and excellent tenderness in the chunky version.
We felt the blend function needed considerably longer to get a velvety smoothie, and the clean function was a bit hit and miss, requiring a lot more rinsing after use. Otherwise, this is a strong, powerful machine that delivers really well.
Wattage: 1000W

Lakeland Compact Soup Maker
Available from Lakeland (£59.99)
Best small soup maker
Pros:
- Compact for smaller kitchens
- Easy to set up
- Great quality for the price
- Excellent auto clean function
Cons:
- Short electrical lead
- Not many recipes
- Can’t see the food cooking
Star rating: 5/5
There is nothing not to like about the Lakeland Compact soup maker, especially if you have a smaller household or limited kitchen storage space. Plus, it’s lightweight, even when filled with soup, making it ideal for anyone who struggles with lifting.
The machine is easy to use and is up and running straight from the box, after a quick wash. It makes two generous portions of soup. Our smooth tomato soup was excellent, and the chunky one was cooked to perfect tenderness, stopping just before becoming mushy.
We were especially impressed with the cleaning function on this machine; it worked effectively and required little to no further rinsing.
The jug is made of stainless steel, and though seeing food being cooked is beneficial, the reliability of this machine means there’s no need to worry; it’s doing its job. This may be smaller than most, but in performance, it comes into its own.

Tower Vizion 1.6L Soup Maker
Available from Tower (£49.99), Amazon (£53.98)
Best budget soup maker
Pros:
- Sturdily built machine
- Intuitive buttons
- Easy to use
- Lightweight Tritan jug
- Great soup results
Cons:
- No recipes
- Clean function struggles
Star rating: 5/5
The Vizion from Tower was an impressively designed machine, especially considering its price. It offers a 1.6L capacity, promising the usual smooth or chunky soups, juices, and blending options, which also incorporates a cleaning function that we found to be somewhat ineffective. The Vizion jug is exceptionally light, as it’s made of Triton plastic, which is tougher than glass, scratch- and stain-proof, and BPA-free.
We immediately liked the digital interface, which connects to every programme and is easy to understand. The instruction book was detailed, and although it lacked recipes, it provided clear instructions on how to prepare the ingredients, as well as many other handy tips for achieving the perfect soup.
The soups delivered were delicious and tender, especially the chunky soup, and the smooth tomato had a lovely, silky, and thick consistency. The smoothie, using the blend function, took a few attempts to blend thoroughly. Despite a few niggles this is an excellent machine for the price.

Tefal Perfectmix Cook BL83SD65 Soup Maker
Available from Amazon (£175), Tefal (£199.99)
Best soup maker and blender
Pros:
- Removable blades
- Easy to assemble
- Very quiet while cooking
- Impressive safety features
- Super-fast blades
Cons:
- No recipes included
- Many parts are not dishwasher-proof
Star rating: 5/5
As we lifted the Tefal Perfectmix soup maker from its snug cardboard box, we admit it looked rather daunting but is also extremely well-built. The machine is not simply a soup maker, so the front panel offers 10 automatic programmes with just two related to the soup: smooth and chunky.
The Perfectmix is fast and suitably noisy when blending but quiet while cooking. We were impressed by the machine’s safety features, and it will not work if any part of the lid is not firmly in place. The sharp stainless-steel blades can be removed easily with care for washing.
This powerful, high-speed blender we discovered on the test delivered a super smooth creamy tomato soup and chunky roast vegetable soup in 30 minutes. It made short work of crushing ice and effortlessly whizzed a fluffy smoothie.
This is an expensive machine for a soup maker, but given everything else it will do – even make multigrain milk – it makes a brilliant investment if you want to roll other machines into one. We loved it.
Wattage: 1400W
Capacity: 2L
Weight: 5.8KG
Functions: smooth soup, chunky soup, milkshake, smoothie, dessert, ice crush, compote, stir, multigrain milk, hot sauce, manual, blend, heat and cleaning settings
Warranty: 2 years
Ninja Foodi blender and soup maker
Available from Ninja (£179.99), Lakeland (£179.99)
Best soup maker with sauté function
Pros:
- Lots of presets
- Glass jug
- Multifunctional
Cons:
Star rating: 5/5
This is a multifunctional blender and soup maker that performs well, no matter whether it’s blending milkshakes or cooking soup. With just a 1400ml capacity for soups, it’s a little smaller than some others on this list, but we think its versatility makes up for the lower capacity.
With a chop and sauté function on top of four cold blending programs and four hot blending programs, this is a useful bit of kit. And unlike many other soup makers, it really does function as a full-size blender too, so there’s no need to double up on appliances.
On the downside, it is pricey, and the heavy glass jug will be a struggle for some people to lift, particularly when full. That said, this is a top performing model that’s intuitive to use and it’ll earn its place in your kitchen.
Wattage: 1000W
Capacity: 1.7L
Weight: 5.6KG
Functions: smooth soup, chunky soup, jam, sauce, smoothie, frozen drink, dessert, milkshake, chop, sauté, manual blend, manual cook
Warranty: 2 years
Daewoo 1.6L soup maker
Available from Amazon (£44.95), Daewoo (£49.99)
Best value soup maker
Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Simple to use
- Good capacity
Cons:
- Can’t be used for small quantities
Star rating: 4/5
If you’re looking for a basic soup maker that can make decent smooth and chunky soups, without breaking the bank, this Daewoo soup maker is not a bad option. The settings include smooth, chunky, juice, and blend, plus there’s an LED display that shows a countdown timer. It’s simple to use but the control panel is somewhat unsophisticated.
In our tests it successfully created smooth and chunky soups, but the juice function – which is supposedly for smoothies too – couldn’t handle our super berry smoothie with frozen berries. So it can’t take the place of a traditional blender.
The stainless-steel jug is sturdy and has a decent 1.6-litre capacity. But since it’s a budget option, there are no handy extras such as a sauté or keep warm function. It can create a tasty smooth soup from scratch in just 21 minutes though, so if you simply want to make soup, you won’t be disappointed.

Tower 1.6-litre soup & smoothie maker
Available from Amazon (£48.12), Tower (£59.99)
Best basic soup maker
Pros:
- Lengthy 3-year warranty
- Available with a flask
- Simple to use
Cons:
- Can’t add ingredients during cooking
Star rating: 4/5
The Tower 1.6-litre soup maker is available on its own or, for an extra £10, with a 500ml flask so you can have tasty hot soup on the go. It’s a straightforward soup maker with just the essential smooth and chunky soup settings. But if the lid is removed during use, it resets, which means you can’t add ingredients or seasoning part-way through cooking, which will be frustrating for some.
The blend function acts like a pulse button and allows you to further blend your soup if needed. Meanwhile there’s a juice function for blending cold mixtures such as smoothies, but it failed to liquidise a frozen berry and yogurt smoothie, so won’t take the place of a blender.
While it lacks anything other than the basic settings, the control panel is simple to use, and the soup maker is effective at creating smooth soup in just 21 minutes.
Wattage: 1000W

Morphy Richards Classic soup maker
Available from Amazon (£60.99), Morphy Richards (£79.99)
Best everyday soup maker
Pros:
- Simple settings
- Hot soup in 21 minutes
Cons:
- Lid can’t be opened during cooking
- Outside gets hot
Star rating: 4/5
Morphy Richards have quite a large range of soup makers and this is one of the cheaper models the brand offers. Though the RRP is still a bit steep given the fact that it’s incredibly similar to some of the more budget soup makers on this list.
Nevertheless, it’s simple to use and can produce silky smooth soup in just 21 minutes, or a chunky version in 28 minutes. It can’t be opened up without resetting the programme though, which will be frustrating if you’re a hands-on cook who likes to taste and season as you go. But the blend setting acts like a pulse button, so you can easily blend fresh herbs in at the end.
The juice programme doesn’t work for thick frozen smoothie mixtures, so while this is an effective soup maker that can do some blending, it won’t take the place of a separate blender.
Wattage: 1000W
Capacity: 1.6L
Weight: 2.07KG
Functions: smooth, chunky, juice, blend
Warranty: 2 years standard, plus an extra year upon registration
Tefal Easy soup and smoothie maker
Available from Amazon (£98.08)
Best soup and smoothie maker
Pros:
- Clear functionality
- Easy to use, fast – smooth soup in 23 mins
- Chunky in 25 mins
- 30 recipes
- Keep-warm function
Cons:
For a little more, you get extra functionality with this Tefal soup maker. There are a lot of recipes to choose from in the accompanying booklet, and we had a go at their sweet potato & red lentil soup. The ‘soup with pieces’ setting doesn’t blend at all and produced a good result in 25 minutes. You need to keep pieces small to ensure thorough cooking. We also used the blend button to make their mango lassi – this machine is perfect for the luxurious texture needed.
The easy cleaning button is a handy feature, but unlike some of the other soup makers that have this, it does not recommend using detergent. We can’t quite get past not using soap so gave it a further clean afterwards. The information says not to put the jug under running water, which makes it a bit trickier, but it still proved easier than cleaning a saucepan. Read our full Tefal Easy Soup review.

Other soup makers tried and tested
Is it worth getting a soup maker?
A soup maker is a game-changing piece of kit if you buy and eat soup regularly. And while there’s an upfront cost to consider, by switching from supermarket soup to homemade, you could save some serious cash in the long-run. Here’s a look at some of the other benefits:
- Time saved: If you already enjoy cooking soup from scratch, a soup maker streamlines the process and does the hard work for you. Many models even come with automated settings, so all you need to do is add your ingredients, then let your gadget take care of the rest.
- Additional functions: Not just reserved for soup, some soup makers come with extra presets for making smoothies and yogurt, or creamy sauces, dips, and purées.
- Better awareness of ingredients: For those with dietary requirements or preferences, making soup from scratch is an easier way to keep an eye on which ingredients have been used.
- Control over consistency: Whether you prefer chunky or smooth, achieving the perfect texture when cooking on a hob can be tricky. But with a soup maker, you can programme your appliance to achieve the exact consistency you’re after.
What makes a good soup maker?
Size, weight and appearance are all factors to consider when buying. The simple models tend to be lighter and take up less space. The versatile models can be larger and heavier, especially if they have a glass jug.
Instruction manual: Helpful, accurate guidance from the manufacturer on set-up, timings and how to prepare various types of soups was a must. We gave extra marks for a variety of recipes.
Ease of use: A soup maker should reduce the work involved in cooking. We looked for easy-to-use machines, where we felt confident that the process minimised the fuss of preparing ingredients and cooking them.
Ease of cleaning: Although we were open to hand-washing (most machines, because of their size and electric output are not dishwasher safe), we still kept an eye out for machines that made life easier when it came to washing-up.
Aesthetics and size: Soup makers can be space-consuming, so we considered both height and footprint. We favoured compact soup makers for ease of storage, unless they were enhanced with additional functionality, which justified a bigger size. Attractive design was also taken into consideration.
Versatility: We looked for soup makers that didn’t just stick to the norm and brought other uses where possible.
