Best soup makers to buy right now
A soup maker chops, heats and blends in one jug, with smooth soup in about 25 minutes. Morphy Richards is the best-known name; check the capacity, because a 1.6 litre jug serves about four bowls.

Best for most people
1. Morphy Richards Classic Soup Maker 48822
Under 25 min · 1000W · 1.6L · Smooth, chunky
The soup maker to buy for most homes, and the best seller here by a wide margin. It makes soup for up to six in under 25 minutes, with smooth and chunky settings, a 1000W motor and a stainless steel body. There is no sauté setting, so onions go in raw unless you soften them in a pan first.

Best for sautéing first
2. Morphy Richards Sauté and Soup Maker 501014
Non-stick, dishwasher safe · About 21 min · 1.6L · Smooth, chunky, juice, blend
For cooks who want to soften onions and garlic in the jug before the stock goes in. It sautés, then makes smooth or chunky soup in about 21 minutes, with a pause button to check the texture and a glass lid to watch it cook. The pot is non-stick coated aluminium rather than stainless steel, so keep metal utensils out of it.

Best blender that also cooks
3. Tefal PerfectMix Cook BL83SD65
1400W · Steaming basket · 1.75L glass jug · 6 hot, 4 cold
For a kitchen that wants one machine for soups, smoothies and ice crushing. It has a 1400W motor, a heatproof 1.75-litre glass jug, ten automatic programs and a basket that turns it into a steamer for vegetables or baby food. It is a full-size jug blender, so it takes more worktop space than a compact soup maker.
-
Best for adding ingredients midway
4. Salter Digital Soup Maker
900W · 1.6L · Smooth, chunky, drinks
For forgetful cooks: you can lift the lid to add an ingredient and it picks up where it left off. It makes 1.6 litres, has smooth, chunky and drinks settings, and overspill sensors to stop it boiling over. At 900W it has less power than the 1000W Morphy Richards and Tower models.
-
Best for watching it cook
5. Tower Vizion Soup Maker T12067
Clear Tritan plastic · About 20 min · 1000W · 1.6L
For anyone who wants to see the soup take shape. The clear jug shows the whole cook, it makes up to six portions of smooth or chunky soup in around 20 minutes, and overflow protection stops it boiling over. The jug is plastic, so pick the stainless steel Morphy Richards Classic if you would rather not cook in plastic.

Best budget soup maker
6. Daewoo 2-in-1 Soup Maker
About 20 min · Overspill spout, auto shut-off · 1.6L · Up to 6
The cheap and cheerful option, and the second-best seller in this list. It makes up to six portions of soup in about 20 minutes, blends cold smoothies too, and has an overspill spout, auto shut-off and a cool-touch body. The listing gives no wattage, so its blending power is hard to compare with the others.
-
Best compact soup maker
7. Tower Soup and Smoothie Maker T12056
Stainless steel · 1L · Up to 4
For a single person or a couple with a small kitchen. It blends and heats smooth or chunky soup and smoothies in a stainless steel jug and blade. At 1 litre it holds less than the 1.6-litre models, so batch cooking for the week means two runs.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
