I was given a soup maker for Christmas. Wonderful! You can do a fridge remnant roundup or real recipes. What have shipmates found that works particularly well?

I've just been getting into making soups for the cafe I run - I rarely make them at home. Carrot and orange, leek and potato, cauliflower and stilton are all good. Mushroom is nice if you like mushrooms and don't mind the unappetizing colour! Baked potato soup with cheese and bacon is next on my list. Oh, and spiced lentil soup.

Sorry, I don't know what a "soup maker" is. Is this like a crock pot or slow cooker?
If it is, is the question what works especially well in this sort of device, or just soups generally? (I feel like I'm being obtuse - I'm blaming my flu.)

I share your puzzlement, PG. To me, a soup maker is, ummmmm, a pot. I used one a couple hours ago to make a lovely Red Lentil & Lemon soup.

The very first soup I made was a vegetable soup (using The Joy of Cooking recipe). It is still one of my favorites. But my soup making really took off when I bought a copy of 12 Months of Monastery Soups. Brother Victor-Antoine firmly believes that many people don't cook recipes because the recipes seem too complicated. So he makes sure to simplify them to the basics. The result: delicious soups that are easy to make! I heartily recommend the book.

I only make soup on the stove, not in a machine. But my favourite is watercress and cashew.
My mum invented it when she turned over two pages at once in a recipe book. It's delicious! You also need vegetable stock, milk (soya milk works well if you want it to be vegan), and a bit of cream. Throw in a potato if you want it a bit thicker. Blend before serving.

The machines in the link look to me like a rather complicated and expensive piece of kit for what is, essentially, a very simple operation.
Does it work like a slow-cooker, i.e. you put the ingredients into it and let it get on with it? Is the blending part removable, so that you can have your soup either smooth or chunky?
I love making soup - I probably do it once a week - but I'm not sure that I see the advantage of a soup-machine over a pot (or slow-cooker, depending on how much I want to make) and a hand-held immersion-blender.
If you're looking for suggestions, the following things will all make very decent soup:
Smooth soups (whizzed with the blender)
Bacon, lentil and tomato
Fiddleheads
Broccoli and Stilton
Carrot, tomato and coriander
Mixed root veggies with spices
Chunky soups
Veggie (I use potatoes, onion, carrots and celery)
Potato and leek
Most of the veggies you've got lurking in your fridge will make a decent soup if you've got good stock and stick to the proportions of roughly 1lb of veggies to each pint of stock.

Thanks to Ian Climacus for the link upthread. A soup maker is essentially a blender with a heating element, and a variety of functions; heating, blending, boiling, steaming, and going the whole hog to produce smooth or chunky soups.
The beauty is that all the ingredients go in together, switch on, and the soup is ready without any further input from you, except final additions such as cream and thickening and switching off the machine.
One small bonus is that for those of us on eating plans such as Slimming World, no fat is required as there is no preliminary sauteing of the ingredients. I made leek and potato, and carrot and coriander soups in this way and they were very good. Any added cream/quark/crème fraiche goes in at the end.

Not that I ever disliked soups, but a few years ago I had severe stomach problems (mercifully, now mostly addressed), and came to rely on soups a great deal. It forced me to be much more creative, and now, winter or summer (so many beautiful summer soups!), it's rare that I don't have a pot in the fridge.
I don't have a soup maker, but an immersion blender - it's a bit of a unitasker, but at least it occupies very little space.
I make probably 12 different soups in semi-rotation. My borscht has brought me fame! Songs are sung of it. Minestrone (begin building by gently rendering cubed pancetta in olive oil). Cabbage soup made with a pork hock broth (caraway and allspice berries). Potato and leek (with tarragon). Indian brown lentil, spinach and lemon, chilled, in summer. White bean and cured chorizo.

I use the five-litre slow cooker for making large quantities of bone broth or chicken stock, which I freeze. Soups I make on the stove top so that I can sauté onions, leeks, celery, carrot, etc.

I defrosted a mystery soup the other day when it was cold (I must be more disciplined about labelling). I thought it was kumara(sweet potato) and carrot, but I turned out to be chickpea and was yummy.
Apart from the chickpea, which requires boiling, and a quick store cupboard lentil soup which Babybear posted eons ago, I make all my soups in a 5 litre crockpot. For me soup is not just a nutritious food, it's also useful as an item of exchange when I ask my builder friend to do small jobs that require tool using skills.

My wife is a dab hand at soup and used to make soup in a pressure cooker years ago. It worked well but we felt that the different flavours hadn't had enough time to "blend". But, then, to our mind soup always tastes better when reheated on the day after it's made!

My speciality is Leftover Soup - which is, of necessity, a highly variable recipe. There are a few pointers - if the principal leftover is chickeny or fishy then I head towards julienned vegetables, spicy stock cubes from the Chinese supermarket and coconut milk. If beefy, add chilli, beans and tomato. If root vegetables, curry powder.
I am a reckless adder of things from jars: the other day I made (leftover) beef olive, haricot bean and Tomato and Jalapeño Relish soup.

Recently made a curried leek and sweet potato, which was good, but a firm favourite is Butternut squash, chilli, ginger and coconut.
I often end up making "green soup" which is a leftover soup of green stuff that's going a bit squishy at the bottom of the fridge. Mr D doesn't much like it.

I was looking at soup makers in the Lakeland Catalogue recently. I guess these are useful if you make a lot of soup and have the space to store the machine. One of my New Year's resolutions was to make more soup but I have a tiny kitchen so it's getting made the traditional way. Last week it was chickpea and bulger wheat, this week it'll be ribollita, the Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall recipe (others are available). We quite often do bottom of the fridge soup too.

Another soup maker convert here. It has saved hours washing up pans and the blender, not to mention saving hours scrubbing the top of the cooker where I spilled soup, transferring it between pan and blender.
It helps use up the courgette glut in summer and leftover parsnips in winter.

Agreed.
I eat a bowlful and save the rest for the next day, and the day after. Im not the cook in our house so this soup making is quite a departure and the chef likes it, which is accolade indeed.

Do you mean just that you don't have to, or that you can't? It's something I always do when making soup unless I'm using the slow-cooker, and I'd miss the extra flavour that sautéing brings.
It's amazing how nice a soup you can make from the most unlikely ingredients. D. loves soup (it's his default starter in a restaurant), and his definition of a good restaurant is one that can make a soup that he likes out of ingredients that he doesn't.
When we were house-sitting last year, we'd been encouraged to use up things in the fridge, and I passed the soup test with flying colours when I made soup from a head of broccoli (which D. hates) and a lump of Stilton (which he likes but I don't).
I quite like the idea of a soup-maker (now it's been explained ), especially as it looks as though the capacity would be about right for two of us. Whether I could justify the expense is another matter.

I often judge the quality of a restaurant by its soup. Once I went to a small place in Williams, AZ by the Grand Canyon and they served a delicious veggie and lentil soup. We talked to the owner/chef and found he was a chef from a large city who wanted his own place in a wonderful environment. I could have guessed just from the soup!

OTOH, I often take the packets or pots of instant noodle soups from the local Chinese grocer as a starting point for a quick lunch. Plus, as Ive mentioned, the Tom Yum stock cubes, and also the various tofu products.

If you want to sauté the ingredients, you would have to do that separately. But the three soups I've made without doing so have worked very well. Flour needs to be mixed in or added after you've put in the liquid, or it may burn, not at the end of the cooking process, as I rather misleadingly implied in my earlier post.

My soup maker does have a sauté function; I just turn it on without the lid/blender on the jug, add oil and the ingredients and stir them around for a while before adding the liquid. Then I put the lid on and start the cooking time. No added washing up!

My blender blades are at the bottom of the jug, not attached to the lid. That's why sautéing is not an option with my (admittedly inexpensive) machine.

They're easy enough if you're careful with them, and so easy to clean - just run under a hot tap and switch on to the slow setting and Bob's your uncle.
I've never sussed pressure cookers. My mum used to use them, but I have a vague memory of one exploding, which put me off. Someone gave us one as a wedding present, and it remained in its box until I put it into a silent auction when we were in St. John's and someone very kindly bought it; she said all it needed was a rubber bit to replace one that had perished and it was as good as new.

For a whizzed-up soup, my favourite is this carrot and cashew soup, but I usually substitute ras el hanout for curry. I throw in butternut squash if I have some around.
I've been on a soup-making bender lately; we've all had colds, and the weather has been around -40C windchill. In the last ten days I've made a legendary minestrone; carrot and cashew; and an Asian mushroom soup with shiitake, carrots, cabbage, noodles, ginger and garlic.
I'm not sure if the soup-making machines I've seen online, courtesy of this thread, would have a big enough capacity... I tend to make a vat!

Since it has become clear that different machines have different functions, you would need to research a particular make.
A swift google search defines it as a blender. No mention of cooking the ingredients. And it looks like a jug.

Curiosity, that sounds as if either something round the base needs tightening, or there is a rubber ring/washer/gasket which may have perished and needs replacing.

We have an automatic soup maker.
If we have any leftovers my wife automatically makes soup.

Large stockpot at the Image household. Bone broth, chicken ( from feet) beef, and fish kept in the freezer, at all times. We have soup at least twice a week. Favorite at the moment in pho

Is Mrs. Balaam really the Soup Dragon?
We went to a local eaterie for lunch today, and they didn't quite pass D's soup test. The soup of the day was potato, dill and dill pickle, and it didn't really work. The dill flavour was OK, but the dill-pickle flavour was just a bit too noticeable. It wasn't horrid, but it wasn't one we'd be likely to try and replicate.
