I didn’t have quite as much luck with my chunky soup. That being said, it is a useful feature for sweating down things like onions and garlic, and being able to do this without having to dirty an additional pan is an obvious benefit. I was hoping it might brown the ingredients, too, but couldn’t see any sign of this during testing. It also helps along the soup maker’s sauté function to work efficiently, gently sweating vegetables, herbs and spices before the full cook. This microscopically fine chop isn’t just to show off though. The automatic chop function blitzed them into an ultra fine dice in a matter of seconds, a level of precision you wouldn’t be able to achieve by hand with all the time in the world. During testing, I chopped carrots into three pieces before putting them into the blender but in all honesty, I probably didn’t need to. The Ninja soup maker’s chop function makes easy work of vegetables, including the tough ones like carrots and squash. Ninja Blender and Soup Maker review: Performance It’s an appliance you’d actually want to keep out on your countertop, which is lucky because it’s on the heavy side. It’s stylishly designed and the touch-sensitive control panel is lovely to use. This is useful if you want to cook things like squash and potatoes, which take a little longer.Īlongside its multitude of features, the Ninja blender and soup maker looks the part, too. There are also two automatic cooking functions one for sautéing and one for chopping.Īs well as the automatic functions, it’s also possible to manually control the machine with a pulse button for rapid chopping, and low/medium/high settings for the blend and cook functions. Other buttons let you create jams, sauces, milkshakes, desserts, smoothies and frozen drinks, though you’ll need to add ice to do this. There are two settings for soup: one for chunky soup that runs for 30 minutes and one for smooth soup that runs for 20 minutes. These functions automatically set the time and regulate the temperature for a variety of meals and drinks. The Ninja has ten automatic cooking functions and these are all arrayed across the main control panel in the form of one-touch buttons. Ninja Blender and Soup Maker review: Features and design The Ninja is also the easier machine to use. However, when testing the two machines alongside each other, I found the quality of the soup to be noticeably better in the Ninja. This looks great and has an interesting interface that comines a turn dial with touchscreen features. For a similar price to the Ninja, you could instead opt for the Scott Simplissimo Chef, which will set you back £159.
