FrenchSLCM-P Pea Soup Test - Cook&Grind in One Machine
By:Salinovate Team Jun 18,2026
Our company recently completed a pea soup production test using the SLCM-P15 cooker grinder(chopping, steaming, and blending all-in-one machine). Frozen peas, potatoes, onions, and other ingredients were directly added into the pot. The machine used jacketed steam heating to simultaneously chop and cook the peas, producing a rich, pea-flavored pea soup in approximately 40-50 minutes. Heating temperature, blade speed, and blending speed can all be flexibly set according to different recipes.
I. Test Background
Pea soup is a classic soup in Western cuisine and the catering industry. Traditional production requires multiple machines, including a steamer, grinder, and blender, resulting in fragmented processes, long processing times, and the risk of flavor loss due to multiple material transfers.
A food company sought a solution for pea soup production using a single machine and commissioned our company to conduct a practical production test. Requirements:
● Ingredients: Frozen peas, potatoes, onions, water, butter, milk
● Objective: A rich, pea-flavored, and smooth pea soup
● Equipment Requirements: A single machine capable of completing the entire process of steaming, chopping, and blending.
II. Test Equipment and Raw Materials
Based on the customer’s testing need, we chose the SLCM-P series universal cooking mixer/emulsifying mixer to make the experimental test. Also, we purchased the food ingredients as requested. You can see the specific explanation below.
1)Equipment Details:
Item | Parameters |
Equipment model | SLCM-P15 chopping, steaming, and blending Machine (Experimental) |
Working capacity | 5-10L |
Heating method | Steam injection + Jacketed heating (Only the jacketed steam channel is activated this time) |
Chopping system | Bottom blade (0-3000rpm frequency adjustable) |
Blending system | Top wall blending |
2)Test Raw Materials:
Raw Material | Quantity |
Frozen Peas | 2kg |
Potatoes | 600g |
Onions | 300g |
Water | 4kg |
Butter | 150g |
Milk | 300ml |
III. Testing Process
After finalizing the equipment and procuring the raw materials, we conducted a trial production test making pea soup. The following are the specific instructions for the trial run. Meanwhile, you can watch the following testing video to see the real testing process.
3.1 Feeding and Heating/Cooking
1)Direct Feeding: Add frozen peas, potatoes, onions, and water to the equipment all at once. Frozen peas do not need to be thawed, potatoes do not need to be pre-cooked, and large pieces of ingredients can be added directly.
2)Jacketed Steam Heating: In this test, only the jacketed steam channel was activated (direct steam injection was not activated), and the steam temperature was set to 100℃. The jacketed heating method is gentle and even, suitable for soups like pea soup that require thorough simmering to release the pea flavor.
3)Simultaneous Steaming and Chopping: While heating, activate the bottom blade (low speed setting) and the top wall-mounted agitator to achieve integrated processing of "steaming, chopping, and stirring simultaneously."
3.2 Key Findings: The Balance of Time and Flavor
Testing revealed that the rich bean flavor of pea soup requires thorough simmering to be fully released:
Time Nodes | State |
20-30 minutes | Ingredients are mostly softened, initially forming a soup. |
40-50 minutes(Recommended) | Peas are fully simmered, resulting in a rich bean flavor and thick texture. |
>50 minutes | Adjustable according to the recipe, but please watch timely to prevents soup from burning. |
Recommendation: To achieve a thick pea soup texture, at least 40-50 minutes of simmering time is required to allow the starch in the peas to be fully released and the bean flavor to fully develop.
3.3 Seasoning and Homogenization Stage
Once the peas, potatoes, and onions have softened sufficiently:
• Add butter (150g) and milk (300ml)
• Increase the speed of the homogenizer to 2000-3000 rpm for high-speed homogenization
• To achieve a smooth and delicate texture in the soup.
IV. Test Results
Test Item | Result |
Frozen pea processing | No thawing required, add directly |
Heating method | Jacketed steam heating, gentle and even |
Cooking time | 40-50 minutes (fully release pea aroma) |
Chopping and homogenizing effect | Smooth texture, slightly grainy |
One machine completes | Steaming, chopping, and blending process |
V. Core Advantages of the Equipment
Advantages | Description |
One machine, all-in-one | Steaming, chopping, mixing, etc functions in one, eliminating the need for multiple machines. |
Dual heating modes | Direct steam injection + jacketed heating, allowing flexible selection based on material characteristics. |
Steaming and chopping simultaneously | Heating and chopping occur simultaneously, significantly reducing processing time. |
Adjustable parameters | Heating temperature, blade speed, and mixing speed can all be flexibly set according to different soup recipes. |
Wall scrapping | Prevent materials from sticking to the walls and burning. |
Rich pea aroma | Fully release the natural pea aroma during simmering. |
VI. Application Prospects
The SLCM-P series cooker grinder is not only suitable for pea soup, but can also be widely used for:
• Mushroom soup, pumpkin soup, tomato soup
• Vegetable puree, bean puree (hummus, red bean paste)
• Baby food, liquid foods
• Sauces, fillings
VII. Conclusion
Seen from this pea soup production test, our SLCM-P series cooker grinder(chopping, steaming, and mixing, etc functions in one device) can work for high efficient soup production. The equipment, with its core configuration of jacketed steam heating, bottom-mounted blades, and top-mounted wall-mounted mixing, can complete the entire process from frozen peas to a rich, flavorful pea soup within 40-50 minutes. Heating temperature, blade speed, and mixing speed can all be flexibly set according to different recipes to meet diverse soup production needs.
