What amount of liquid should be used in a CUISINART blender to prepare soup?

Question

Accepted Answer

The glass bowl of your CUISINART blender has a total capacity of 1.5 liters. To prepare soup, the manual recommends filling the bowl only up to 2/3 of its capacity, which is about 1 liter maximum. This filling limit is important as it allows steam to escape during the blending of hot soups and prevents overflow.

Always start by pouring the liquid ingredients first (water, broth, milk, or juice) into the bowl, then add your chopped vegetables. This method makes blending easier and helps solid ingredients circulate better around the blades. If your vegetables tend to stick to the sides of the bowl during blending, you can add a little more liquid or use the provided spatula to scrape the sides.

Regarding temperature, avoid using boiling liquids in the blender. If your broth or water is very hot, let it cool for 5 minutes before pouring it into the bowl. This precaution protects the glass bowl and improves safety during use. Similarly, do not pour very cold liquids directly from the freezer: they could damage the glass in case of thermal shock.

For a thick and smooth soup, start with about 800 ml to 1 liter of liquid for 500 grams of prepared vegetables. You can adjust the consistency after blending: if the soup is too thick, gradually add liquid and blend again; if it is too thin, leave it as is or reduce it in a pot on the stove. Always leave a margin of about 10 cm between the top of the bowl and the lid to avoid splashes.

After preparation, wait for the soup to cool slightly before pouring from the blender bowl to serve. Pour slowly while holding the lid lightly with your hand to avoid splashes. Clean the bowl immediately after use: pour in warm soapy water and blend for a few seconds, then rinse thoroughly. The glass bowl and lid are dishwasher safe for added convenience.
