I'm thinking about buying a soup maker (a nice batch of lovely soup in 30 minutes!) Does anyone have one, and more importantly USE it? (we have cupbaords full of gadgets that seemed like a great idea at the time but rarely see the light of day now)

Around 10 cups of builders tea...........orange and strong enough to stand the spoon up by itself.
