Are you looking for recipes for soup makers? Then you will love our ultimate collection of soup maker recipes from our 9 years of soup maker addiction. Tested in the Ninja Soup Maker, Morphy Richards Soup Maker, and a Cuisinart Soup Maker, they are perfect for getting to know your new kitchen gadget.
Originally created back in 2016 not long after starting Recipe This, we love updating our best soup maker recipes list, and this is the October 2023 update which includes new soup maker recipes and the update of some classic oldies.
Soup Recipes For Soup Maker
Normally in the Milner house, I will come across a new kitchen gadget and then have to convince Chef Dom why we need it and then I will go and get it and hopefully he will stop rolling his eyes (at me getting yet another one) when he sees how amazing it is.
That was us and our Philips Air Fryer, The Ninja Foodi and of course our first soup maker.
Yet he loves those gadgets now.
My reason behind getting a soup maker in the summer (yes in the summer whilst living in super hot Portugal) was to learn how to use the soup maker first, before Sofia was born, then after she was born it would be good for the diet and then also used for her when she was going onto baby puree.
Our soup maker was then used for all those things and we even took it on several holidays with us to puree food for Sofia and made the weaning stage even easier.
I get that my reasoning for a soup maker, is likely to be different to your own, but during our 9 years of soup maker machines, we have learnt so many great soup maker recipes, that we wanted to share with you.
What Is A Soup Maker?
If you are new to soup makers, then note that they are referred to in the UK as a soup kettle meaning that they look similar to a kettle. Or when you look at the Morphy Richards Soup Maker, this is exactly what you think.
In the USA they would call our soup makers a hot and cold blender. If I mention a soup maker to an American, they always say, we don’t have those we just have the instant pot pressure cooker. Yet they then realise it’s the same as a hot and cold blender, and mention they never use it for soup, just for smoothies in the summer.
Soup Makers In The USA Vs The UK
This is interesting. In the USA the soup maker is just not as popular as it is in the UK. I put this down to the fact that in the US they love to make soup in the slow cooker or via the instant pot and I do this too but also have a soup maker.
One of our readers Pat, wanted the same Ninja Soup Maker we have and it was such an effort for her to get one as they are few and far between. In the end she turned to eBay and is very pleased with this Ninja Soup Maker she has.
But on looking at it, I was fascinated that her soup maker buttons for the same make, had different buttons.
We have done a video showing how our soup maker buttons vary to Pat’s and interesting that they feel they need to change it so much.
How To Make Soup In A Soup Maker?
The process for making soup in a soup maker is very easy and is very much a dump the ingredients into the soup maker and then forget about them….well until the soup maker beeps and tells you that you have perfectly cooked soup!
For example, here is our soup maker lentil soup recipe.
Can You Make Stew In A Soup Maker?
Yes, you can make stew in a soup maker, but its not something that I have done.
With a soup maker its like boiling in a pan so anything you would boil in a pan can be cooked in a soup maker.
Just note you might have to readjust the cook time of the stew when cooked in the soup maker.
What Else Can I Use A Soup Maker For?
The soup maker is (as the Americans call it) a hot and cold blender. So anything you can imagine using a blender to create can be made in a soup maker.
But this also depends on the soup maker you own, as some do have a rubbish blade and are difficult to mix. For example, the Morphy Richards soup maker is much cheaper and this shows on the blender function.
If you have got a soup maker with a good blender such as the Ninja Soup Maker or the Cuisinart Soup Maker, then you can make a soup maker chicken liver pate or use it for jams and other similar foods.
For other non-soup recipes I love:
What Is The BEST Soup Maker?
I have used soup makers for many years, and I have found that you get what you pay for. The cheap Morphy Richards Soup Maker doesn’t hold much soup and breaks easily (I replaced mine 3 times), yet the Ninja Soup Maker and Cuisinart are the BEST.
That is because they are brilliant at making blenders, so it feels like you have a much higher quality blender with the soup maker.
Though because soup makers are often similar you can follow our recipes if you are looking for:
- Morphy Richards Soup Maker Recipes
- Salter Soup Maker Recipes
- Tefal Soup Maker Recipes
- Tower Soup Maker Recipes
- Cuisinart Soup Maker Recipes
- Daewoo Soup Maker Recipes
Though if you are looking for a machine for soup kettle recipes, the Morphy Richards one is your best.
What NOT To Put In A Soup Maker?
The BIGGEST cause of breaking the soup maker is something that burns at the bottom of the soup maker. So I would avoid things like popcorn, or putting things like honey right at the bottom.
Is It Cheaper To Make Soup In A Soup Maker Or On The Hob?
Yes, it is cheaper to make soup in a soup maker compared to the hob or the stovetop as you might call it.
That is because it runs on low wattage electric vs a gas hob.
Do You Put Boiling Water In A Soup Maker?
There is no need to put boiling water into the soup maker to make soup. The soup maker warms up the liquid of the soup maker so fast and will have it to boiling temperature before you know it!

This is my favourite low carb soup ever! Butternut squash can make a genius alternative to potato and can be replaced in a lot of meals and your new low carb potato.

We find this to be really creamy and considering it is soup we always argue over who gets the last of it.

#13 – Soup Maker Celery Soup
If you’re on a diet and want to lose weight then this is the soup you should be eating!
Celery is known for the fact that if you chew on it that there is more effort in eating it than the calories itself making it a negative calorie food.
In this celery soup recipe this rule doesn’t apply because it has been blended but even so celery is still incredibly low calorie and still tastes good – so give it a go!

#14 – Soup Maker Minted Pea Soup
This is something that I used to have a lot, but since going Paleo it has been something that I have practically given up on.
But for the sake of trying out and going back through all my soup recipes I decided to give this one a run out.
The thing about minted pea soup is getting the balance right – you don’t want too much mint in it as it can be over powering and you also want the peas to taste nice without being bland. In this recipe we have cracked it!

#15 – My Delicious Cabbage Soup Recipe
Okay so the cabbage soup is often just associated with the cabbage soup diet. But you don’t have to be on a diet to enjoy it!

This particular version is full of local Portuguese flavours and the Portuguese are addicts when it comes to soup.

Instead of eating way more than you should on Christmas Day instead save some extras and have this soup the day after. Or if you have loads of leftovers freeze it.

#17 – Soup Maker Salad Soup
Now this came to me after the recipe that I did for #13 and it was all about what else I could deconstruct.
This time I had a go with a salad. I thought to myself how nice tomatoes, peppers, celery, onions and other salad things are in a soup.
And lets face it most of us hate a plain salad.
But put it into a soup and then all these flavours come alive. Plus if you have teenagers that hate salad then this a new way to introduce salad to them.
