Daewoo 1.6L Soup Maker Review: Fresh Soup Made Easier

A straightforward way to make soup in one jug

This Daewoo combines cooking and blending in a single appliance, so ingredients can go from preparation to a finished soup without transferring hot food into another machine. That is the main appeal: it keeps the process simple and reduces the number of items competing for space on the hob or waiting to be washed. This is an editorial review based on product information and wider research.

Choose smooth or chunky soup

The dedicated soup programmes are useful for different preferences. Smooth mode is suited to velvety soups, while chunky mode leaves more texture. A separate blending function adds flexibility for cold drinks such as smoothies and shakes, making the appliance more useful beyond soup season.

A generous 1.6-litre capacity

The jug can make up to six portions, which is helpful for family meals, weekday lunches or stocking the freezer. It is particularly appealing if you like buying and cooking in bulk, as one session can cover several servings rather than a single bowl.

Useful automatic features

Automatic programmes manage the cooking and blending stages, while the overfill protection and easy-pour spout are practical touches. The stainless-steel interior is designed for durability and keeps the body opaque, giving the machine a neat, kettle-style appearance on the worktop.

A few useful things to know

The marked working range is approximately 1.3 to 1.6 litres, so this model makes most sense when you want several portions at once. The stainless-steel jug is also opaque, which means you cannot watch the texture develop as you could with a glass blender-style soup maker. Cleaning is best approached carefully: rinse and wipe the jug and lid as directed, avoid immersing the electrical parts, and take care around the blades.

Who should buy it?

• Choose it if you want an uncomplicated appliance for family-size soup, meal preparation and occasional cold blending.
• It is a good fit if you prefer practical automatic programmes to watching a pan on the hob.
• It should suit households that regularly make several portions and appreciate a compact upright design.

Who may prefer something else?

• A smaller household wanting one bowl at a time may find the minimum fill level more than it needs.
• Someone who wants to see ingredients while they cook and blend may prefer a glass-jug design.

Alternatives worth considering

Final verdict

The Daewoo 1.6L Soup Maker offers a useful balance of capacity, straightforward programmes and everyday versatility. Its strongest case is convenience: it can turn prepared ingredients into several portions of smooth or chunky soup in one appliance, then handle cold blending when required. For families, batch cooks and anyone planning ahead for busy weeks, it is an appealing and practical option.
