If a family member or friend has a sore mouth, throat or difficulty swallowing, you can liquidise soup for meals. A blender is an important tool in liquidising soups. A food processor will leave the soup chunky, not smooth. You can use a sieve or hand blender, but they take longer to liquidise the soup. A blender will save you time and energy.

Let your soup cool. You don't want to pour steaming hot soup into your blender. If there are any splashes or spilling, you may burn yourself. If you must pour hot soup in you blender, only fill it halfway to prevent splatters. Additionally, hold the lid with a kitchen towel while blending the soup.
