Additional Information:
There is something really magical about this soupmaker. It makes really good mushroom soup. My Mr. FECS said that it was the best mushroom soup that I have cooked. I have been experimenting making cream of mushroom... by frying the garlic, onion and mushroom, but I have not been able to find a recipe that I could say, yes, this is how it should be.

But using this soupmaker, simply adding mushrooms, garlic, onion, water and a bit of cream, it makes really rice, nice and creamy mushroom soup with a lot of taste. There isn't any oil or frying involved.

My Mr. FECS and I were trying to uncover the secret of the magic soupmaker. We suspect that there are some hidden MSG that the manufacturer put insides that makes simple soup tastes so heavenly, but of course, we could not find anything.

We will be making more of this soup for ourselves (although not for our Little FECS, as he does not like mushrooms).

The Philips model is not available in Amazon, but something similar of a different brand is available:
