I found the same problem. Watery soup, and I found that recipe lacked flavour. Definitely needs tweaking. Next time I’ll use chicken stock and not as much liquid as they suggest as well I will add some garlic and more thyme. The device itself works great, had homemade soup in no time. Easy directions, easy cleaning so can’t wait to try something else.

That makes sense. Phillips is a Dutch company, and Dutch food is bland and tasteless. 😂

It is not 2020 technology. These soup makers have been around for years and years. They are soy milk makers that have been adapted a bit to appeal to westerners. That does not make them any less useful, but truth does have its rights too.

Yes!! I've made soymilk!!

@@Adeline9418 Indeed. They are soy milk makers to begin with ^_^.

Yaaas I make soymilk with mine!!! And soup.

I have had one years ago. They are good, fast and require very little clean-up. However, you are right. The consistency isn't great. When I wanted my soup to be smooth, I poured it into my Vitamix after cooking. Since I make soup from frozen vegetables, this was a better method than making them in the Vitamix, because the Vitamix doesn't like frozen vegetables. Nowadays, I bother with neither the soup maker or the blender. I just cook my soups in the rice cooker and they turn out great. Blending is still an option, but I don't like the extra work and clean-up required.

Own the Philips and love it. I have a swallowing issue and need things pureed. I often run the puree cycle twice and it comes out great.
