This All-Clad Tool Is My Mom's Secret to the Best Soups, and It's the Lowest Price We've Seen

As soon as the weather dips below 60 degrees, my mom whips out her stockpot and begins making her famous soup recipes. While some of my family members love her chicken noodle best, I’m partial to her pureed vegetable soups. In an effort to re-create them this winter, I’m snagging the one tool she uses every time while it’s on sale: the All-Clad immersion blender.

My mom says this hand blender is her secret to the best creamy tomato basil soup and carrot-ginger soup — and it happens to be the best ones our editors have tested, too. Best of all, it’s on sale right now at Amazon for the lowest price we’ve seen all year.

All-Clad Electrics Stainless Steel Immersion Blender

All-Clad is best known for its iconic stainless steel skillets, but the brand also makes powerful kitchen appliances. Of the 15 highly rated hand blenders we tested, All-Clad’s came out on top. This powerful tool is made from the same durable stainless steel that made All-Clad cookware famous, and it’s just as useful as you’d expect a product from the brand to be. 

Instead of having to fish out her bulky countertop blender, my mom uses this All-Clad hand blender to puree ingredients directly in the stockpot. Not only does that save her time during cooking, but it’s also one less dish to wash at the end. She said this immersion blender cleans off with a quick rinse under the sink, but in the case that it requires a scrub, the arm is detachable and dishwasher-safe.

The All-Clad immersion blender is easy to operate, with just two modes to toggle between — one to turn the machine on and off, and another to toggle to turbo mode. It also has a small dial that lets you easily control the speed and avoid splatters.

At nearly 3 pounds, it’s one of the bulkier models we tested, but it has the power to back it up — 600 watts at that. In our tests, it easily pulverized tough ingredients in a matter of seconds and took on large portions with ease. The immersion blender has a 9.25-inch shaft, which is helpful when you need to reach deep into tall pots and bowls.

While it’ll come in handy for soups, this powerful tool is surprisingly versatile. It’s great for crushing ice, mincing garlic, and blending sauces, dressings, smoothies, and more. It even comes in handy for mashing potatoes, whipping cream, and emulsifying homemade mayonnaise.

Ready to make the tastiest soups of your life? Snag the immersion blender that my mom and our editors recommend most while it’s at the best price I’ve seen.
