Best Blenders for Soups in 2026

Best Blenders for Soups in 2026

When you blend soup, it’s not like when you blend a shake or nut butter. As much as raw power is important, safety and splash control are even more so when you’re working with hot liquid right out of the pot. To make the soup, you can either use an immersion blender, which is a stick blender that you put right into the pot, or a countertop blender. Some countertop blenders now have heating elements built in that cook the soup for you.

This is a list of the best-tested picks for both groups for 2026, along with some tips on what to look for before you buy.

Quick Picks

Immersion Blenders — Best for Blending Right in the Pot

With an immersion blender, you can mix soup right in the pot on the stove. You don’t have to move hot liquid to a pitcher or use extra bowls.You also don’t have to worry about getting burned when you pour or blend hot liquid in a closed container.

1. Braun MultiQuick 7 — Best Overall

The Braun MultiQuick 7 won after three months of tests with tomato bisque and potato leek soup. Its SmartSpeed variable control and ACTIVEBlade technology, which moves the blade up and down for more cutting surface than a normal fixed blade, helped it win. With its splash control, it’s one of the best options we’ve tried. It can handle both thin, brothy soups and thick purees without leaving behind stringy or unblended bits.

It’s best if you make a lot of soup and want smooth results like in a restaurant without having to watch over the blender all the time.

2. Braun MultiQuick 5 — Best Value

Braun’s tried-and-true PowerBell blade system is used in the MultiQuick 5. This system creates a vortex that pulls ingredients toward the blades instead of leaving you to chase pieces around the pot. It has two speeds and turbo control, which isn’t as good as the MultiQuick 7’s fully variable speed, but it costs less.

It’s a good choice if you want Braun’s steady blending performance without having to pay as much for the top model..

3. turelar 2-Speed — Best Budget Pick

The Tunelar 2-Speed is the best-selling hand blender on Amazon for a reason, so don’t be fooled by the price. During tests, it held up through several batches of creamy tomato bisque, giving results that were better than expected for the price.

It’s best for people who only make soup once in a while and don’t want to spend a lot of money but still want reliable performance.

Countertop Blenders — Best for Hands-Free Cooking or Bigger Batches

Most countertop blenders can only blend, so you’ll need to cook your base or veggies first and then blend them in batches.

But more and more “soup maker” blenders now have a heating element built in that cooks the ingredients right in the jar. This means you don’t even have to touch a stove to go from raw vegetables to finished soup.

4. PRASKY 2400W with 2 Containers — Best Overall Soup Maker

The PRASKY 2400W was the clear winner after a month of daily tests because of its sheer power, ease of use with two containers, and ability to make smoothies and soups.

The 2,400-watt motor is strong enough to turn cooked vegetables into a smooth puree. With two containers, you can make soup and smoothies without having to wash the jar between uses.

Why it works well: it’s best if you want a strong machine that can blender soup and other things.

5. Homtone 1.6L Soup Maker — Best Budget All-in-One

For smaller households, the Homtone 1.6L delivers great value as a combined cooker-and-blender.It’s designed for smaller amounts, making it a good fit for cooking for one or two people rather than meal-prepping in bulk.

Why it’s a good fit: best for singles or couples who want a compact, affordable soup maker.

6. Braun TriForce / PowerBlend 9 — Best Dedicated Soup Mode

This versatile blender stands out because of its unique triangular jug shape. This shape directs ingredients downwards toward the blades, making it less likely that they will stick to the sides, which can be a problem when making thick soups. It has six blending programs, and one of them is specifically made for hot soup. Each program has three texture choices, so you can finetune how smooth you want the end result to be.

This is a good choice if you want a useful everyday blender that also makes great soup, rather than a soup maker that only does one thing.

Also worth knowing: glass soup blenders with heating

The ASTRALSHIP ASH01-S and other models like it have a glass jar with a built-in heating element. This gives you the cook-and-blend ease of a soup maker with the longer-lasting, stain- and odor-resistant build of glass instead of plastic.

What to Look For in a Soup Blender

• Splash and steam control. Mixing heated liquid in a sealed countertop container may result in the lid dislodging due to accumulated steam pressure. Seek a cover with ventilation, a designated “hot liquid” fill line, or, when using immersion blenders, a spacious, deep vessel for blending.
• Motor power for texture. To achieve velvety purees, seek blenders with elevated wattage (1,000W or more for countertop models, or a robust motor for immersion blenders). Weaker models may produce fibrous remnants from veggies like as celery or leeks.
• Immersion vs. countertop. They are easier to use because they mix right in the pot, so there is less cleanup, and they are safer when using hot liquid. For smooth, restaurant-style purees, countertop blenders are better in terms of texture and consistency, but you have to be careful when moving hot liquid between them.
• Built-in heating (if you want hands-free cooking). A soup-maker-style blender cooks and blends in the same jar, which is great for meal prep where you don’t have to touch the food. However, it’s a one-use appliance, so if table space is limited, you might want to choose a more versatile blender with a soup setting instead.
• Attachments. A lot of immersion blenders come with whisk or chopper devices that you can use while you’re making soup to whip cream, emulsify sauces, or chop herbs.
• Easy cleaning. When you work with hot, sticky, or starchy liquids, removable mixing shafts and dishwasher-safe blades make cleanup much easier.

Bottom Line

Because it is so easy to use, the Braun MultiQuick 7 is the best immersion blender for people who already cook soup on the stove.

The PRASKY 2400W or the cheaper Homtone 1.6L are both good all-in-one choices if you’d rather have a machine do the cooking and blending for you. The Braun TriForce is also one of the best tabletop blenders because it can make soup, smoothies, and a lot of other things.
