Is this strong enough to blend creamy soups such as potato-leek or a smooth white bean soup?

I have been very pleased with this product so far. It perfectly blended boiled cauliflower when making a soup, so I am sure it will do the items you mentioned. You might have to mash them a bit with the blender, while blending.

Yes. We are quite satisfied with the Cuisinart' s power. We also use it for batters and pastry dough.It especially excels in slicing using the adjustable blade disc.

I have not tried it on anything really thick yet, but I feel it would be able to get the job done. The variable speed of this unit should make it capable of the job.

Hi - no the blender only blends but does an amazing job. You will need to cook your soup on your stove. Good luck!

Absolutely. I've used it to blend hot gravy straight from the oven roaster. cooked veggies and all.

Absolutely. I use mine every day to juice greens. It will be a thicker mixture because it is breaking down whole foods and not extracting the juice. It is much more beneficial and works like a wiz. I add about 1 cup spring water to mine when blending. I love this blender.

It mixes pretty well. I was not wild about the taste in a smoothie, but wasn't bad in soup.

I use it for soups such as pumpkin soup etc. You should be fine with gravy and soups.

I don't think you'll have any issues. My hands aren't very small, but I do have rheumatoid arthritis and my hands arent very strong, and I love using this . Pureeing soups is very quick and mine (hands!) don't tire out. I love that you can disconnect the whisk or blade and wash them separately too!

No. These spoons are like mini-ladles. The soup is taken from the ladle end. It's a perfect portion - a little deeper than a tablespoon. Great for wonton and chicken soup as well as chowders.

Yes. The first thing I made in this blender was "Lima Cheese Soup" which is made of cooked lima beans, water, milk, onion, and cheese, all blended together till smooth. I put the hot cooked beans/water/onion mixture directly into the blender and add the milk and cheese chunks and blend till smooth. (Since I make a large recipe, I do in 3 batches in blender). The blender jar is tempered glass and has no trouble handling hot liquids as well as cold.

This buyer did not use for blending hot items, but I don't see why not. The "container" is not glass, but I would think it was certainly made to accommodate hot food (as well as cold). Just make sure the lid is on tightly so that you do not splatter liquid and burn yourself. Not putting down the P-S brand, if you do a lot of blending frequently and expect to have it serve your needs for years, for example, you might want to go with one of the brands that have been making this item for many years, such as a Hamilton Beach or such, and one that has a glass container and a very strong motor. The Proctor-Silex is very easy to clean and the firm, heavy base is good for stability.

I believe so, it will handle thin to medium (thickness) liquids. Highly viscous liquids like honey would be difficult to stir with this whisk.

I have not used it for soup but would do it. Just because of the sealing from inside. Just be careful with the cap/lid. It does not stay tight.

Yes. This blender puree hot liquids for soups. The glass is resistant to high temperature and I have to confess that, as the glass is weight, I have changed it for one made of plastic and it still work perfect and also resistant to high temperature. I consider that this is one of the best buy that I have made. I hope this help you.

If you want to puree batches of soup, a handheld immersion blender would be MUCH easier! Use it right in the cooking pot on the stove top.

Yes, as amazing as it sounds, the Vitamix will make soup. I've made cauliflower, broccoli/cheese and acorn squash soup and all were delicious, velvety smooth, and almost too hot to eat right out of the blender. It spins so fast that it heats the ingredients, I suppose.

Anything you put in while it is blending/cooking will be blended to liquid...you have to add cut veggies after it is hot...there is a recipe booklet that tells you how to make different soups

Haven' t tried mashed potatoes, but I think they would be too blended or gluey. Great for butternut squash soup, though.
