- Blender: For blending smooth soups to achieve a creamy texture (e.g., Hamilton Beach 7254-36 Blender)
- Cutting Board: Essential for preparing vegetables and herbs safely (e.g., OXO Good Grips Cutting Boards, Multiple Size Sets)
- Mixing Bowls: For mixing ingredients together without contamination (e.g., Ball Apron Classic 4-Piece Set)
- Heavy Saucepan: Ideal for cooking the soup base and achieving a consistent texture (e.g., All-Clad Stainless Steel Commercial Grade Soup Pot, 6 Quart)
- Whisk: For whisking ingredients together smoothly in saucepans or blenders if needed (e.g., OXO Good Grips Silicone Whisk with Handle)
- Immersion Blender: Convenient for directly blending soup while cooking on the stove, ensuring even texture and consistency (e.g., Cuisinart DDM-2DSTUCK Immersion Blender)
- Soup Ladle: To serve the finished soup with ease, maintaining temperature and presentation (e.g., Le Creuset Classic Stainless Steel 1 Quart Ladle)
- Food Processor: As an alternative to a blender for making purees or crushing mint leaves finely (e.g., Cuisinart Prep Master FlexPlus Food Processor and Chopper)
- Large Pot Cover: To keep the soup warm after cooking by covering the pot without reheating it, ensuring freshness (e.g., Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Lid)
- Hand Mixer: For quickly mixing ingredients like a whisk but more powerful for thicker mixtures or doughs as needed in other recipes (e.g., KitchenAid Stand Mixer 5-Speed Attachment)
- Bamboo Steamer: Excellent tool for steaming spinach leaves before incorporating them into the dish or any veggie preparations (e.g., AmazonBasics Heavy Duty Parchment Paper Lid and Ring Set with Bamboo Steamer)
