I enjoy soup always Weider and a machine to cook from fresh soup in 20 minutes sounds like a cool idea! Not sure about the result I ordered the Tristar because of the price. It is a great machine and looks expensive with all keys. Disappointment was the service way, no recipes at all. I saw a video to You Tube and then put 1 chopped potato 1 chopped onion seasoning and some soup and water and pressed "Smooth Soup" and it went Loss !. after about 20 minutes it was finished, and I was very surprised, it was a nice creamy soup! To refine a little cream on it and Mmmmm! 1 from point because the soup was burning a little on the floor, but it was easy to clean and gave no prescription.
