We’ve already mentioned Vitamix in our blender section, they are the worlds no.1 blender and also very expensive. We recommend investing in on of these if your a serious home chef needing a high quality blender daily.

If you also like a nice hot soup regularly then this is the Vitamix model; one we recommend

The Aspire, tackles 50 kitchen tasks in one machine and is  only appliance in the world that can make both ice cream in 30 seconds and soup from scratch in 5 minutes. And, its results will seriously wow you…

It works quickly so nutrients are retained – unlike a juice extractor, it blends fruit & veg into fibre-rich, whole food juice in just one minute.

Cooks hot soup from scratch in under 5 minutes without chopping and peeling veg first – whole carrots and peppers can go in – seeds and all.

Almost instantly dices, chops or blends ingredients into salsas, dips and sauces – making everything from hummus and nacho sauce to peanut butter.

NB:- this means it will only make pureed soups,  not  chunky soups, noodle soups etc  as it pulverizes everything. If you want whole veg, lumps of meat or noodles etc… then choose another soup maker.

Makes fresh, home-made ice cream or frozen yoghurts and desserts in an amazing 30 seconds just by adding ice or frozen fruit.

Unlike conventional blenders, it smashes through ice cubes in seconds

Grinds wet or dry ingredients – coffee beans can be ground in as little as 10 seconds.

The friction from the incredibly quick motor does all the work – there’s no heating element – the longer the 1200W motor is running, the hotter it cooks. Five minutes is all it takes to turn uncut, unpeeled veg into fresh, piping hot soup, ready to serve. Why have ready made? It would take longer than that to open a tin and reheat it in the microwave!

Blend, dry chop, wet chop, make frozen treats, heat, grind, knead, (making bread with the addition of the Dry Container), emulsify… tackling over 50 different tasks with variable speed settings, you’ll be simply astounded by Vitamix. And, after all that – it’s really easy to clean. Just half-fill with soapy water, switch on, then rinse the jug with clean water.

Dimensions : 18.5 x 22 x 44cm H. (7¼” x 8¾” x 17¼”). 1200W. 1.4 litre jug
