INTRODUCTION

The soup maker is a high quality blender with a heating element built into the base.

The soup making function is pre-programmed into the electronic circuitry inside. The

product also has a pulse function ideal for making juice etc. Unlike other soup makers

onthemarket,thisonebenetsfromastainlesssteelscreeninthemiddlethatallows

the user to make chunky soup.

SENSORS

The soup maker is equipped with numerous sensors that detect things like the pres-

ence of liquid and whether the lid or jug is properly in place. The machine will bleep to

alert the user that the lid needs replacing or that liquid should be added etc.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Unpack the soup maker and remove all packaging. It is a good idea to practice as-

sembling/dis-assembling the blender/screen assembly to become more familiar with it

beforeyourrstsoupmakingsession.

The soup maker will need to be cleaned to remove any factory residues before it is

used to make soup. This is an ideal time to become familiar with the soup maker. Let’s

make “water soup” - not very tasty but it will clean the machine!

Put1litreofwaterintothejug,tthescreenandputthelidon.Placethejugontothe

motor base. Connect to mains supply and press the ON button followed by the SOUP

button.Thesoupmakerwillrstheatthewater,thenperformnumerousblendingand

heating operations over the next 25 minutes or so. When the programme is complete

the machine will emit a series of long beeps. Unplug from mains and discard the water

(it will be hot so be careful). Allow the jug to cool. The soup maker is now ready!

SHOPPING LIST

Before making any soup you are going to need some ingredients. In this book there

are 4 recipes for soup and 1 for juice. These will cover all the techniques required to

get the best out of the soup maker and will allow you to adapt the thousands of soup

recipes out there. All the soup recipes require either chicken, beef or vegetable stock.

You can use pre-made stock but it is usually better to use a stock cube.

HERBS

The herbs used in these recipes are the dried variety but you can use equivalent

amounts of fresh herbs instead.

VEGETABLES

Onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes (tinned), leaks, potatoes

SP18010N.indd 6-7 26/06/2012 12:10

MEAT

One of the recipes has a meat option (chicken). We do not recommend cooking raw

meats in the soup maker because the process time is only 25 minutes. Whilst this

shorttimeisgreatforkeepingtheavoursandvitaminsofvegetables,itmightnotbe

enough time to cook certain types of meat. Any recipe that requires meat will need to

benishedoffoutsidethesoupmaker,inasaucepan.

OTHER INGREDIENTS

Cream (single), olive oil, pepper

LET’S MAKE SOUP!

Thisisarecipeformushroomsoup.Itisreallyimportantthatyourrstexperiencewith

the soup maker is a good one and this is the easiest recipe. Even if mushroom soup

isn’tyourfavourite,werecommendyoutrythisonerst.

All recipes serve 2 as a main course or 4 as a starter

MUSHROOM SOUP (with Chicken option)

ingredients:

500ml water

1 x chicken stock cube

200gmushrooms(nelychopped)

100gonion(nelychopped)

1 tsp thyme

1⁄4tspblackpepper

1 tbsp olive oil

single cream

additional ingredients for chicken option:

100g chicken (You can use raw but pre-cooked chicken breast or left-overs are easier)

Butter for frying the chicken

Method: Remove the lid from the blender jug and make sure the screen is in place.

Add 500ml of water to the jug (up to the MIN mark).

Finely chop the mushrooms (a food processor or mini chopper is ideal for this). Re-

move 50g of the chopped mushrooms and sprinkle them into the jug OUTSIDE the

screen. Don’t put any more than 50g outside the screen as this could interfere with the

heating function.

Place the lid onto the jug and lock into place – observing the arrows on the lid. Remove

the CUP from the lid.

Finley chop about 100g of onion and put it into the jug via the hole so it goes inside the

screen. They should come about 1/3 of the way up the screen. Break up the stock cube

and add to the inside of the screen. Add the dried thyme and black pepper. Fill the

remaining space in the screen with the chopped mushrooms (you might have a little left

overdependinghownelytheyarechopped).Add1bspofoliveoilonthetop.

Replace the CUP in the lid. NOTE: avoid compressing the ingredients in the screen or

they may become lodged there.

We’re ready to go! Plug the soup maker in and press the ON button followed by the

SOUP button. While you are waiting eagerly for your soup (it’ll be 25 mins) – read on...

Things to look out for

Sincethismaybeyourrsttimeusinganapplianceofthistype,youmightbecurious

as to what’s going on once the SOUP button has been pressed. The Soup Maker will

heat the liquid outside the screen and blend the contents inside the screen at various

times.Astheingredientsbecomepulverisedbytheblendertheywilllterintotheliquid

outside the screen. The 50g of chopped mushrooms you added outside the screen will

remain in tact – adding some nice texture to the soup.

In most cases all the ingredients inside the screen will work their way down to the

blender blades as they become pulverised. On some occasions though, you may need

to give them a little nudge. That’s what the food pusher accessory is for.

If you tried to remove the lid during the soup making process, the machine would stop

and reset the programme. This is to prevent the user from being injured by hot liquids.

However, you CAN remove the CUP in the lid at any time. The food pusher accessory

can be placed into the hole to dislodge any ingredients. The food pusher is designed

so it wont reach the blender blades – which is a good thing! NEVER use anything other

than the food pusher accessory for this!

The Chicken Option (great name for a movie?)

We can’t recommend cooking meat in the Soup Maker but since it does 90% of the

work of making soup, it’s no real bother to add the Chicken Option as it also applies to

other meats.

Add some butter to a non stick saucepan and fry 100g of chicken cut into very small

piecesuntilcooked.WhentheSoupMakerhasnishedmakingthemushroomsoup,

unplug it from the mains and pour the contents of the jug over the chicken in the sauce-

pan. Stir in 50-100ml of single cream according to taste. Allow to simmer gently for 5

minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve immediately.

If you just want mushroom soup without the chicken: When the Soup Maker has

stopped and emits the long beeps, unplug it. Removed the lid and CAREFULLY

remove the screen. Using a wooden or plastic spoon, stir in 50ml of single cream.

Serve immediately

A note about the heating: In the soup maker, the element relies on being able to

circulate the hot liquids properly. If there are dense solids in direct contact with the

element, it could put the machine in FAULT mode. If this happens it will stop the pro-

gramme and emit 4 beeps in quick succession. This is to prevent damage to the ele-

ment. This is also why we cannot put any more than 50g solid ingredients outside the

screen.Ifthishappensyouronlyoptionistonishthesoupinasaucepan.

Juice

The soup maker has a pulse function, which can also be used for making citrus juice.

The screen keeps the larger solids away from the juice.

When making juice you must always start with 500ml of water in the jug and you should

ALWAYS use the screen. If you try to use without the screen the liquid will slosh around

the jug and most likely splash out of the spout.

Method: Put 500ml water in the jug so it reaches the MIN level. With the screen in

place,tthelidandremovetheCUP.Cut2oranges(andorgrapefruit)intoquarters

repeatedly until the fruit has been pulverised. If necessary use the food pusher acces-

sory to gently push any lodged fruit toward the blade.

You can add more fruit pieces (or grapes or other juicy fruit) until the liquid level

reaches the MAX (1500ml) level.

Keep the screen in place when pouring.

Swan Brand Heritage

In 1933 Swan were the first to develop an

electric heating element t hat could be

immersed in water.

This led to the Swan

kettle range that could boil up to six pints

of water in just over nine minutes - pretty

hot for the time! These days it takes about

two minutes for a Swan kettle to boil.
