Morphy Richards 1.6L Sauté & Soup Maker, 4 Settings, Pause Function, LED Control Panel, Non-Stick Coated Jug, Detachable Power Cord, Stainless Steel, 501014, Black

So, I have soup at work almost every day for lunch. I buy the standard H***z variety. Never again. I purchased the Saute Soup Maker yesterday and this morning tried it for the first time. I made Broccolli and Stilton soup from Margaret Wrens Complete British Soup Maker Cookbook. Well... absolutely full of flavour and so smooth and no nasty additives. This gem of a soup maker will pay for itself in 4 months. I added a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the butter when I sauted the onions to help prevent any burning on the base. There was a little burning after cooking but I followed the Morphy Richards instructions after cooking to put in hot water and washing up liquid and after 15 minutes wiped with a sponge scourer and it wiped off easily. There wss some steam but no more than normal cooking, e.g. steaming vegetables. Easy to cook, easy to clean and not noisy. Would definately recommend

Delighted at how easy it is to use. First attempt at making leek and potato soup and it was delicious. Easy to clean too. Would highly recommend. Definitely value for money.

If you're on the hunt for a kitchen appliance that can truly transform your culinary game, look no further than this incredible soup maker with a sauté function. While you might come across soup makers at a lower price point, let me assure you that this one is an absolute gem and worth every single penny. What sets this soup maker apart is its ingenious sauté function, which eliminates the need for an extra pan when preparing your soups. Say goodbye to the hassle of sautéing onions and veggies separately - this beauty does it all in one go, and the difference in flavor is remarkable. Now, let's talk about its size. It's compact, hardly taking up more space than a standard kettle. This means it won't clutter your kitchen, and you'll have more room to explore your culinary creativity. But here's where it truly shines: in just about 20 minutes, you can indulge in exquisitely cooked, velvety-smooth soups. And here's my secret - chop those veggies a tad smaller to fit more in, start with less stock, and adjust the consistency later for extra servings throughout the week. It's a meal prep dream, especially for those busy work lunches. Speaking of versatility, I've experimented with a range of soup recipes, from the classic carrot and coriander to the rich and hearty lentil and bacon, or the indulgent broccoli and stilton. And let's not forget the ultimate comfort food - cauliflower cheese soup. They all turn out simply divine. But here's the kicker - when you're feeling a bit lazy, you can grab Asda's pre-prepared fresh soup veggies. Their spicy butternut squash and scotch broth options are personal favorites. And for a real treat, try making a chunky scotch broth with minced lamb and peas. It's like a warm hug in a bowl. In a nutshell, this soup maker is not just a kitchen appliance; it's a game-changer. If you crave quick, wholesome soups that outshine any canned version and are a breeze to prepare, this is your ticket to culinary bliss. Trust me, it's become an indispensable part of my kitchen, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Don't miss out on the opportunity to elevate your soup-making game to a whole new level!

Great soup maker,a must for everyone who loves soups,its well made and easy to use.Fantastic book explaining on how to use and soup ideas,great delivery.

Works very well and has taken its place in the kitchen for regular use. Saute facility is useful, but can burn food if you are not careful (heed the warnings in the instructions).

Makes the most beautiful soups. Enough for 4 good sized portions. Very easy to use. A good way to get your daily vegetables

Fabulous soup maker - easy to use. Makes soup from scratch: Chop up veg, sauté if necessary, pop in add stock & seasoning- press a button & hey presto, delicious smooth soup ( or chunky if preferred ) in under 25 mins. Easy to clean machine too . Highly recommended

I had bought exactly the same model Morphy Richards sauté soup maker as this one in 2016, absolutely wonderful until it died just before Christmas. The bottom never burnt whilst using the sauté provision (and I used it a lot) and until it blew up it never tripped my electrics. It was so easy to clean, loved it absolutely brilliant. So I thought I'd buy exactly the same one again which I did on 10th January 2026. I used it for the first time today. Set it for smooth which takes 21 minutes but about 8-10 minutes in I noticed clouds of really hot steam pouring up from the spout and all around the seal between the body and lid of the appliance which made copious amounts of condensation and water all over the top sides and around the electrics point of contact, absolutely horrified. I had never had this with my previous soup maker. I very carefully dried all the condensation off the top and sides, watched it like a hawk and wiped anymore off until it finished. I let it carry on the programme crossing my fingers and when I took the lid off at the end of the cycle clouds of boiling hot steam rose up, luckily I wore oven gloves just in case. I poured out the contents and looked at the bottom, it was burnt in places (see pix) I was shocked, I never had that in my previous soup maker. Returning today, very disappointed in this product, I wonder if there are some dud ones out there? If you look at the photos you can see all the droplets of water around the electric contacts, black one part photo particularly dangerous. Having had and happily used exactly the same model for 10 years I can honestly say the one I have been sent is dangerous in my opinion. Not only from an electrical short out point of view but also the clouds of steam when the appliance is working and when you remove the lid at the end of the cycle. Therefore sadly as much as I loved my old one and Morphy Richards I'm just not going to risk it so will be looking for another brand. Come on MR change the design......
