does it dice up vegetables for soups

If you mean 1/4"-1/2" diced pieces, no, it does a nice job with sliced veggies for soups, stews, etc. If I need diced veggies for any recipe I dice them myself using a Chef's knife (8").

Yes, It does everything from slicing to dicing to pureeing. I make salsa in it all the time.

it works great on soft cooked vegetables and fruit, a blender works better for cooked meats in broth

I only have used it for home. I put the personal sized soup in it and add rice, vegetables or noodles which works out great when watching tv.

This is a great chopper for uncooked veggies. Do bear in mind that it chops these foods into small chunks and the more times you pull the string the finer the chunks become. If you are wanting a shred or thin slices like for scalloped potatoes, etc., this is not the right machine. But if you're looking for "chopped", this is the one.

It does chop veggies - but it does a better job mincing them, like Harlan Harris says. I used it to "chop" celery, carrots, tomato, bell pepper, cauliflower, and broccoli with ease! Softer things like tomatoes don't do too well in there - it turns out like a puree.

it could easily blend the vegetables if they were cooked first- if not- i suggest the food processor attachment or maybe you want a juicer? The blender is a 6c capacity. Don't put that much in in all at once.

Yes. It's the handiest little gadget. I cut onions into big chunks and pulse them till they're just right, then freeze them. Always have chopped onions on hand. Same for carrots and similar veggies. Haven't tried kale yet.

Not real good, you could wrap it up with another veggie, or tie it in a knot, when I do items like kale and other leafy items I either roll them up or tie them in knots with themselves to give it bulk, or wrap it around some other veggie like a carrot or something with more substance.

No. You'll want to get a food processor for that function. If you tried to dice and chop with this you'd just end up with pulverized mush.

I haven't tried putting Vegetables in it. I use it strictly for protein shakes mixing.

Not really dice but with the blade in you can chop to the size you need. You'll need to pulse and watch closely so you don't over chop.

if they are thinly sliced vertically, not as well on thick round slices. Its just a quick chop that you hand turn, great for onion, bell peppers, squash, etc.

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

Yes it does, the leaf vegetables better to combine with hard vegetabls. Hard vegetables on their own no problem at all. Fruits alone is also no problem.

There is a round container which came with the handheld blender. So far I have not chosen to use this container to chop nuts ect. As far as other attacchments - none that I know of..

Yes, there is a holder that has prongs to poke into vegetables prior to slicing them.

We use it as a dough knife most of the time. It will work for chopping, but we prefer a knife for that. It's great for gathering up chopped veggies or meat to transfer them to a pot or bowl.
