The Breville Control Grip is fantastic for soups. It's meant for blending hot ingredients directly in a pot or pan for recipes like pureed soup and sauce. It makes a fairly smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like kale or broccoli when working with bigger batches, so your soup won't be overly leafy or grainy. It's also well-built and easy to clean. However, it's heavy and on the loud side, making it less pleasant to use when you need to blend for several minutes, like for a big pot of soup.

The NutriBullet Immersion Blender is a fantastic choice for making soups. You can use it to process hot ingredients directly in the pot or pan.

This blender is also decently well-built and very easy to clean by hand.

The Braun MultiQuick 9 is fantastic for soups. Since it's an immersion blender, you can use it to blend hot ingredients directly in a pot or pan for recipes like soup.

It's intended for blending hot ingredients in a pot or pan, so you don't need to transfer your recipe into a blending jar when you're making soup or sauce. While it doesn't make a completely smooth blend with stubborn ingredients like raw kale, cooked ingredients and vegetables like carrots or potatoes are easier to process. The detachable blending arm is easy to clean by hand, but it isn't dishwasher-safe.

The Braun MQ505 MultiQuick hand blender is excellent for soups. Since it's an immersion blender, it's meant for blending hot ingredients directly in a pot or pan.
