NINJA SOUP MAKER / BLENDER

The one-jug machine behind NIX Soup Lab.

CAPACITY: Use the marked MIN and MAX HOT lines on John's exact jug; never infer capacity from a similar model.
POWER: Heating is the main electrical load. Log the exact rating plate before relying on an energy estimate in Vanilla.
NIX RATING: ★★★★★ · NIX WORKHORSE

WHAT IT IS

PLAIN ENGLISH.
NO MANUAL FOG.

A heated jug with a blade, temperature control and automatic soup programmes. It replaces a saucepan and separate blender for suitable recipes.

The base heats the ingredients while the programme controls time and blade activity. Smooth mode cooks first and blends to a uniform texture; chunky mode keeps recognisable pieces. Manual blend lets the finished texture be adjusted in short bursts.

MY EXPERIENCE

WOULD I BUY
IT AGAIN?

It has become the practical NIX route from roast leftovers and ordinary vegetables to three useful lunch pots without creating a sink full of hardware.

Yes. It earns its space because it removes steps rather than merely adding another motor to the cupboard.★★★★★ · NIX WORKHORSE
