Blender for the van.

It looks good but wouldn't chop as fine as the Zyliss and probably as much effort. Are you going to Moffat, Rob? You could have a look/try there?

I like the look of that Zyliss thingie, might give it a go.

Yes, I'll be at Moffat Carol.

You can regale me with some soup.

I like a bit of regaling!

What about a mouli blender - the type you use to make baby food? No electricity required. Pop the pulped veg back into the liquid and voila - thick soup.

This one runs is more powerful and will be better for soup. The USB 200w ones seem to be aimed t smoothie making.

The batteries are rechargable from 240v.

You could recharge at home or when on EHU. Charging from an inverter will also be fine because the current draw will be a lot less than 240v blenders.

Whoops forgot the link .....

Looks good, but one reviewer said it takes a bit of elbow grease, so Julie may struggle.

Shame on you Carol.

Rob has considered blending a few chickens to make fresh chicken soup

These look as good as it gets for 12v 12 Volt Blender - The Waring Tailgater

 

[Fazerloz]

They may ship to UK if you ask. I ship in quite a few bike parts from the states from people that don't list international shipping just make sure you get a price and I usually ask if they will use UPS.

We have a small pull string blender in the van. Haven't tried to make soup with it yet, but did make falafalls and it worked well.

Something like this: Zyliss Easy Pull Manual Food Processor Chopper Mixer Blender Red | eBay

Great recommendation. Got one from Argos. Can't believe how good it is.
Thanks.

I have a stick blender from Tesco which was a silly price ?£5 ish only 200watts but does not come apart for cleaning. The Russell Hobbs one looks more practical and easy to clean. Great for soup making, I also use a splatter guard following a few incidents where I lifted the blender too far out of the pan and ended up wearing soup! Like this:

If Julie has trouble with manual chopping a stick blender is probably the best bet
