Before we share 3 delicious soup recipes with you, we have a number of tips to help you make most out of your soup maker.
1. Use boiling water for your stock, or liquid addition. This helps any vegetables cook thoroughly.
2. If you plan to use anything frozen, make sure the ingredients are fully thawed first.
3. Make sure all meat that goes into the soup maker is pre-cooked.
4. Chop your ingredients into smallish pieces, especially potatoes, carrots and turnip, this allows the vegetables to fully cook.
5. Ensure the lid is fully closed or sealed.
6. To prevent burning, make sure you add your liquids before you insert the rest of the solid ingredients.
