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 refrigerated 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!

48821_Layout 1 05/11/2010 15:11 Page 5

Works in a flash!

Making fresh homemade soup in the comfort of your own kitchen couldn’t be quicker when using your Soup Maker. All you have to do is prepare your selected ingredients, transfer them into your

Soup Maker, and select your required style of soup – smooth or chunky. The smooth soup programme blends and gently cooks the soup in

15 minutes. The chunky soup programme takes just 25 minutes before it’s ready to enjoy!

Keeping it simple

At Morphy Richards, we believe life shouldn’t be complicated. That’s why we’ve worked hard to make your Soup Maker as easy to use as possible. It really couldn’t be simpler. All you have to do is select your desired programme with one press of a button, and then walk away. In as little as 15 minutes you’ve got perfectly delicious homemade soup, cooked your way.

Space Saver

We know that space is a valuable commodity in your kitchen, and the last thing you need is an oversized appliance cluttering your worktop. Your

Soup Maker is a compact size with a simple design so it fits easily on any worktop space. It is even small enough to fit away into the smallest of cupboards when you’re not using it.

A dream to clean

The Soup Maker is not dishwasher safe, but it is simple and easy to clean. After use, simply run the orange section of the lid incorporating the blending blade under warm water, and wipe with a sponge. The inside of the Soup Maker base can also be cleaned with warm soapy water and a sponge. If food is burned on, allow to soak, then wipe away with a sponge. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth.

Certain food types can burn if in contact with the base heating element. If this happens, fill the

Soup Maker with hot soapy water and allow to soak for 15 minutes. Any burnt on food can then easily be removed with a coarse sponge cleaning pad. Do not use a metal scouring pad as this will scratch the base.

After cleaning, please dry all parts thoroughly.

WARNING: DO NOT immerse the lid or jug in water, as this contains electrical components that can be damaged by water. Do not allow water to get onto the electrical connections. Dry thoroughly before use.

Any Questions?

If you have any burning questions about the use of your Soup Maker, check the list below where we have answered some of the more common frequently-asked-questions (FAQ’s). If you have a question not covered here, please feel free to contact our Helpline: 0844 871 0960.

Does the heating function work when I remove the lid?

No. Removing the lid cuts the power to the unit for maximum safety. The heating function only activates when you have placed on the lid and selected either smooth or chunky soup programmes.

Can I remove the lid mid-cycle?

Yes, but the power will be immediately cut to the blending blade for your safety. Power will also be cut to the control panel, so you will need to start the programme again from the beginning, after replacing the lid.

Can I use my Soup Maker to make anything other than soup?

Yes. Your soup maker can be used to make a range of fondu’s, sauces, and even milk shakes.

Also, join us online on Facebook or Twitter for more inspiration.

Can I use uncooked meat in soup recipes made in my Soup Maker?

You should first cook meat separately before transferring into your Soup Maker with additional ingredients from your recipe, as the Soup Maker is only designed to gently heat the soup.

What is the capacity of my Soup Maker?

The capacity of your Soup Maker is 1litre. This is marked on the inside and outside of the base.

Ensure you do not fill your Soup Maker above this line, otherwise the overfill detector will cut the power to the blending blade. If this happens, simply remove some of your ingredients so the 1 litre fill mark is not exceeded, and wipe clean the overfill detector on the lid (5). Also ensure your ingredients (including liquid) are above the 0.8L line.

Failure to do this will impair the blending function.

Can I change the times on the smooth and chunky soup settings?

No. The times for these settings are preset, and should be adequate to make soup in the way recommended in this guide.

48821_Layout 1 05/11/2010 15:11 Page 6

Can I make cold soups like Gazpacho in my Soup Maker?

Yes, but you will first need to cook the soup using either the chunky or smooth soup setting. Then simply allow to cool or refrigerate before enjoying.

What if my Soup Maker stops working?

Your Soup Maker is fitted with a safety thermostat, which cuts the power and stops the product from working to prevent overheating if it is used continuously on 3 or more cycles. If this happens, remove any food from the jug, and allow the Soup Maker to cool for 30 minutes. It should now work correctly, and you can continue making your soup.

If the blend function is used continuously for more than 20 seconds a safety cut out will cut the power to prevent overheating. When this happens wait for 10 seconds before reusing the blend function.

What if food burns on the base of my

Soup Maker?

Due to the starch and sugars present in some foods, a slight burning may occur if they are placed in direct contact with the inside base of the jug. To prevent this, add half a cupful of water or stock to the Soup Maker before placing in any solid ingredients. Then top up with the remaining liquid specified in your recipe.
