🥕 Hot soup without splashing: a quick & easy method – Neary

To avoid getting it all over the walls (and yourself!), equip yourself with a good quality immersion blender : it's easy to handle and minimizes splashing. A blender designed for hot liquids (with a steam-proof lid) is also an option, but requires a special technique. Prepare:

• A large saucepan or stockpot (preferably tall)
• A clean cloth or oven mitt to partially cover
• A ladle if you need to transfer something 🔄

Tip: For a delicious seasonal soup, use a ready-to-cook homemade soup kit 🥕🍲.

1. Let the soup cool for 3-5 minutes to avoid hot steam (this limits bubbles and splashing).
2. Immerse the blender completely in the liquid before turning it on (this prevents the blades from stirring up air).
3. Start at a low speed , keeping the blender slightly tilted, then increase if needed.
4. Partially cover the pan with a cloth or the lid slightly open (never tightly closed! 🔥).
5. Mix in short bursts , without sudden movements. Stir gently for a smooth, homogeneous texture.

By doing this, your kitchen stays spotless and you avoid burns! 💪

Yes, but be careful! If you're using a regular blender, never fill it to the brim and remove the lid's vent to let the steam escape (place a cloth over it). Otherwise, the pressure could cause the lid to pop off and everything to spill!

• Fill the blender to a maximum of half its capacity.
• Leave space for steam and blend in several batches if necessary.
• Hold the lid down with a thick cloth

Some special "soup" blenders are designed to blend while hot, so be sure to read the instructions before you start. For more tips, check outthis very detailed soup recipe 🥗.

• Never turn on the blender before it is submerged.
• Never close the blender lid tightly on boiling soup.
• Avoid sudden movements or lifting the blender out of the liquid while it is running.
• Do not fill the container to the brim (risk of overflow!)

By following these few principles, you can cook safely and without endless cleaning 🤗.

• A folded cloth or a lid placed at an angle is enough to contain most splashes.
• If you want to avoid stains on the backsplash, move the pan a little further from the wall or place a cutting board behind it.
• Wipe away any small drops immediately to prevent them from drying and leaving marks.
