Homemade soup your way
We've designed your Soup Maker so that it's
even easier and quicker to make homemade soup
to your own individual taste, with the minimum of
fuss. All you have to do is place the ingredients
needed for your favourite recipe inside your Soup
Maker. Then it's as simple as selecting either the
smooth or chunky soup setting, depending on
your preference, and then waiting a few minutes
for your Soup Maker to blend and gently cook the
ingredients for perfectly delicious homemade
soup. It really couldn't get any simpler!
Using your Soup Maker
Your Soup Maker has 2 settings to make 1litre of
either smooth or chunky soup. There is also a
separate manual blend function.
Select your choice of programme:
Smoothly does it...
The smooth soup programme (8) is perfect for
delicious soup recipes requiring a smooth
consistency, like Roast Plumb & Tomato soup. The
programme ensures the ingredients are blended
to the right consistency, and gently cooked at the
right temperature. The programme lasts for 15
minutes, before the soup is ready to serve &
enjoy!
Get chunky!
The chunky soup programme (9) is perfect for
rustic soup recipes requiring a chunkier
consistency, like Winter Lamb & Lentil Broth. The
programme ensures the ingredients are heated
for longer to ensure the chunky ingredients are
fully cooked. The programme lasts for 25 minutes,
before the soup is ready to serve & enjoy! For
chunky soup there is no blending process, just
heating. It is therefore recommended that you cut
any vegetables into small dice sized pieces.
A perfect blend!
Allows you to further-blend the soup to your
desired consistency, if required. This function
works without additional heating of the soup.

The benefits of
homemade soup
Because homemade soup tastes so great, costs
so little, and is so good for you, it's really hard to
fault it!
Scratch it!
Scratch cooking is the best way to prepare
healthy, wholesome food that the whole family
loves. It gives you complete control over the food
you eat, because it involves cooking from the
most basic ingredients and helps you to avoid all
the preservatives, flavourings, and other nasties
found in processed foods.
Batch it!
Batch cooking is great because it allows you to
cook up a batch of wholesome food, and pack it
away in meal-sized portions that can be refriger-
ated or frozen, locking away all the taste and
nutrients ready to enjoy later in the week.
Don't waste it!
In the UK we waste up to 8.3 million tonnes of
food every year, most of which could have been
eaten. Whether its forgotten chicken from Sunday
lunch, or a lonely tomato tucked away at the back
of the fridge, you can always rustle-up a fantastic
homemade soup recipe using the leftover food
loitering around your kitchen that would normally
go to waste.
Soup Nutrition
Homemade soup couldn't be better for you, and
depending on the recipe, can provide a full range
of health-giving nutrients including vitamins,
minerals, carbohydrate and fibre. But best of all,
homemade soup is simply delicious! For an extra
vitamin and mineral boost with added fibre, why
not include locally-sourced, fresh seasonal
vegetables? You can even supercharge your soup
with slow-release carbohydrates by including
pre-cooked whole-wheat pasta pieces in the
recipe.
What makes your soup
maker so special?
Food doesn't get much better than fresh,
homemade soup. But it can be complicated and
time-consuming, especially when you're juggling
the demands of a busy life. That's where your
Morphy Richards Soup Maker comes into its own!
