Product Information

On test, this model scored full marks for both smooth and chunky soup. It easily made a smooth and creamy tomato soup with a deep, rich flavour. This was despite following a vegan recipe and having only been cooked for 30 minutes. The results were just as good on our chunky butternut squash test. It here cooked all the vegetables to near perfection – they retained their colour, were full of flavour and still had a slight bite. We also appreciated that there's the option for cold blending. It produced a velvety banana milkshake, a creamy batter for deep frying and breadcrumbs. Take note And, while it may feature a bulky design, it’s a highly functional device that can be stored in pieces to save space. How to use the Ninja Blender and Soup Maker HB150UK

While this option is definitely not on the cheaper side of the Ninja Foodi, it offers all the same awesome technology and even features a few extra benefits. For one, you can get it in three different colours, including candy apple red, to match your other Kitchenaid appliances. Having never been a fan of soup makers, this Ninja might just have converted me. The chop and sauté functions keep the whole process contained in the jug and it makes a great soup while you put your feet up. The only downside for me is that the capacity makes just three portions of soup at a time. About this review, and the reviewer For two, the blender jar is dishwasher safe, so you don’t have to worry about submerging it in water.

And while the device proved itself in terms of its blend functionality, we admit when it came to the nut butter and hot chocolate, we also used the other main function of the Foodi Blender… Cook Similar to the blender function, the Foodi offers four pre-set cooking programmes — Smooth Soup, Chunky Soup, Sauce and Jam — as well as a manual mode. The Ninja Foodi Blender and Soup Maker is easy to use and has — in our opinion — the perfect amount of buttons and options.

As a blender, it has a strong motor that blends both hot and frozen ingredients well and is extremely durable. And as a soup maker, it can cook all kinds of meals — including raw meat in soups.If on-the-go protein shakes and smoothies aren’t your main reason for wanting a blender, you should definitely consider this one. As a multipurpose blender that can make soups, sauces and more, it has the potential to become a real workhorse in your kitchen and offers far more than your average blender. The automatic clean programme on this blender is essential because the heating element in the jug means it can’t be submerged in water. I used the clean programme and it’s actually very thorough. You add water and washing up liquid and then it spends almost seven minutes heating and blending to get rid of all the residues. It still requires a bit of a rinse afterwards but for the most part everything gets cleaned off. This is a great option for those looking for a versatile and effective soup maker. While it boasts plenty of useful programmes, we were especially keen on the cleaning programme and brush. Be warned, it's very heavy when both empty and full. Key Specifications We also put the Ninja Foodi to a true test, using the manual Blend option to make homemade nut butter and some deliciously melted hot chocolate.
