Food processor or blender

[BeetheQueenBee]

I want some kind of blender that I can use for making soup and also for chopping up onion and ginger and the like.

I have a food ninja smoothie maker and I use that for making soup and sauces sometimes but it only works if there is a lot of liquid in there and liquidises rather than chops up. DH thinks it makes my soups too smooth, so I have reverted to chunky soups (no blender).

What do I need?

That’s a good point @HardAsSnails That’s why I need you all!

I’ve had another look and it says it has an anti-scratch foot. Looks like the bottom of it is plastic so tempted to get this one but will have a good look first at all the suggestions here as I’m hoping this is going to be a long term buy.

I prefer stainless steel as the white plastic discolours with butternut squash, carrot and sweet potato!

Bamix? Not cheap but heavy duty and lasts. You can get special offers that come with extra attachments

I bought this Dualit hand blender

I decided a hand blender with chopping attachments would work and this one looks quite smart (plus has vouchers to use for JL)

Thanks everyone for the help
