Piping Hot Soup from Scratch in 20 Minutes
In just 20 minutes, the Breville VBL060 turns your favorite soup ingredients into delicious hot soup, however smooth or chunky you like it. It handles the entire process, from sautéing to blending, without you having to worry about your soup boiling over or your kitchen turning into a mess (a drawback of using a hand blender). What's more, unlike many other electric soup makers available in the UK, the Breville VBL060 lets you choose from three heat settings: low, high and simmer/sauté.

Drawbacks and Shortcomings
Perhaps the most controversial feature of this soup maker is the non-stick cooking plate. On one hand, it allows you to fry and saute ingredients without having to worry about the food sticking to the bottom. On the other hand, the fact that the food comes in contact with non-stick coating may put off consumers who are concerned about chemicals in such coatings. The good news is that the non-stick surface is rather small, which – of course – can also be seen as a drawback if you like the idea of sautéing your veggies on a non-stick cooking plate.
