Looking at a similar product https://smile.amazon.com/Philips-HR2204-70-Collection-Stainless/dp/B07G3K9FM8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3NR91UD9OE3VS&keywords=electric+soup+maker&qid=1675015112&sprefix=electric+soup+maker%2Caps%2C1408&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0 and its very frank instruction video...

 

Seems like many things need pre-cooking eg potatoes.

 

And its a roughly 30 minute cook time

 

Maybe not so useful

I watched a YouTube video and it seems to me if you have a saucepan and a immersion blender you don't need one of these. But what do I know.

Might be interesting.

A sort of mini-ankarsrum (or whatever @JoNorvelleWalker has that does everything) for a fraction of the price

 

The Ankarsrum doesn't cook.  You may be thinking of the Blendtec I have used for soup.  Although now that I think of it, I have an as yet unused blender attachment for the Ankarsrum...

I see one in all these Euro kitchen photos. Very pretty.

I've tried and tried to find a need for one....

I came across the soup makers when I was out browsing the sales, wondering what I could buy that I never knew I wanted...  I'm having second thoughts having seen a video of one in action.  The concerning bits were the main video that says the lid is the heating device, and that in that video and the broccoli soup one, the word "cook" is never used, only the word "heat".  I'd always imagined it to be like a kettle with an immersion blender (hence posting under Immersion Blenders), the makers having got the idea from people boiling eggs in kettles while on holiday.
