Some delicious dishes require specific tools, gadgets, or appliances to cook - but what if you don't have them?
If you suddenly decide to cook pureed soup, but your blender is broken, then you still can do it!
Here are a few tips on what to do in those situations.
Mash It Up
Cook your soup ingredients until they're soft.
Use a potato masher or fork directly in the pot.
Mash the veggies to your desired consistency.
This method creates a chunkier texture, perfect for heartier soups.
Use a Potato Ricer
Cook your veggies until they're tender.
Place the soft vegetables in the potato ricer.
Squeeze the ricer handles to press the veggies through small holes.
The result is a smoother texture than mashing but not completely pureed.
Strainer Magic
Cook your soup until everything is soft.
Put a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl or another pot.
Spoon the cooked veggies into the strainer.
Press the veggies through the strainer using the back of a spoon.
The strained soup collects in the bowl, leaving behind any chunky bits.
Food Mill Fun
Cook your vegetables until they're soft and ready to be pureed.
Place the veggies in the food mill.
Crank the handle to process the veggies.
The food mill separates skins and seeds, giving you a smoother consistency.
Handheld Stick Blender
Cook your soup ingredients until they're tender.
Submerge the handheld stick blender directly into the pot.
Blend the soup to your desired smoothness.
This method provides a smoother texture similar to using a traditional blender.
