NutriBullet Rx vs Nutri Ninja Duo Soup Test
Hi guys, I'm Blender Babe Tarashaun. What's up I'm Blender Babe Caitlin
And today we're doing we're doing a blendoff and doing the hot soup test
So, both the Nutri Ninja and the NutriBullet Rx are really popular for smoothie making
but can they make soup?
Well we're gonna find out!
These are two cost effective blenders that people use for smoothies
But we're going to test this with Blender Babes’ Original Vegetarian Tortilla Soup!
and I really love this recipe because it's really simple ingredients that everyone has at home
It's super flavorful and very high in nutrition and best of all
It's not full of preservatives and sodium like all of the canned stuff.
And it's really really easy to make!
And for our Tortilla soup recipe, no pre-cooking is necessary! Nothing pre-heated
You just put all your ingredients into your blender container and you blend.
To blend the soup in the NutriBullet Rx all you do is set it to the 7 minute hot cycle
for the soup. So you just press this button until it turns red for the automatic 7 minute hot soup cycle
And for the Nutri Ninja all the recipes in the recipe book tell you to use the puree setting
which only runs for a minute
I've already done that before so this time we're going to try and use the high setting
which stops after 4 minutes so I'm going to press it again to blend for an additional 3 minutes
so it's 7 minutes vs 7 minutes
all right let's get started!
Put the water in first
We've got carrots, tomatoes, a little bit of onion and celery
and a little bit of cilantro, taco seasoning and tomato boulion for the vegetarians
And a little bit of garlic salt
To start my blender I press the on button once and I hold down the magic bullet button
The Nutribullet Rx Retails brand new for $179.99
There is also a Refurbished NutriBullet Rx for $134.99

It features a 2 Horsepower, 1500-watt motor
And Auto-IQ technology – which is basically pre-timed automatic settings
and keep in mind, certain settings only work with certain containers
The Nutri Ninja Duo comes with 1 Interchangeable extractor blade
and 1 Total crushing blade
3 Nutri Ninja Cups: 20 oz., 24 oz., and 32 oz.
all with sip and seal lids.
a 72 oz. Blending Pitcher
And a Recipe Book
So now we're going to measure the temperature of my soup which is the NutriBullet Rx
with a thermometer
Whoa! That is HOT!
Ok so mine doesn't feel as hot as yours let's put it that way
Actually I'm going to do this the way that you're supposed to with this jar
You want to be very careful with that center blade, it's very very sharp
they actually have a pour spout with the Ninja Total Crushing Jar
so that you avoid the blade as much as possible
now we're at room temperature... it's hot in here!
We've got 81 degrees... so it went a little bit more than room temperature
The last time tested it with the puree setting which is one minute, it didn't heat at all
still going at a 139 degrees... 143, 144. It's steaming
ok so my final number is a 145 degrees
all right so now we're going to do taste it, just for texture
taste testing is my favorite part! I know, me too!
yeah mine isn't hot, it's like a gazpacho
mine is really hot and it tastes great
mine has a little bit of texture, not a lot, a little bit
definitely more than when I blended it for a minute on the puree setting which is the instructions from the nutri ninja recipe book
is to puree your ingredients then put it on the stove to heat it
so by blending it on high a lot longer it's actually much smoother than the puree setting
and just a quick note
both of the manuals for each blender say
to NOT put in any ingredients that are already hot
to make sure that it's all room temperature when you start to blend.
a lot of soup recipes you saute veggies or you might make your own homemade broth
and then you'll pour it into the pitcher right away and puree it.
for these blenders you can't. They want you to cool it to room temperature
or put it in the fridge and cool it off faster and then add it to your jar
but for the Nutri Ninja you can't then heat it through friction, this one doesn't heat through friction
the nutribullet looks like it does
definitely. it is so hot.
Can I taste yours? yes
k let's switch spoons. Give me your spoon!
All right, I'll take my cootie spoon
Mmmmm this is so good, and so simple too
I like yours too
It's cold. It will get hot on the stove. It just takes a little bit more time
what do you think about the texture
I like your texture better but it definitely has a lot more texture than mine
Mine is just a drink
Do you like soups to have texture? I do. Ok.
I like them smoother like this.
But if you want to make a chunky soup you can make chunky soups with these guys
With the Ninja, the Nutri Ninja you would heat it on the stove and near the end you would add
your additional ingredients and just make sure they are chopped up as small as you would want them
and add it to the soup at the end, on the stove
I see, and with mine you would take the lid off and add your ingredients like tortilla chips
We have some! We have tortilla chips!
I like to do black beans and corn and tortilla chips for our tortilla soup recipe
but any other kind of soup, leftover rice or pasta and more veggies is a great way to make a chunky soup
so to chop your tortilla chips you would just press the on button once and then press it off again
immediately after
so the equivalent of like a second. Yeah it's like one pulse
so without having a separate pulse feature that's how you can pulse with the nutribullet
It's hot. I can't believe how hot it is. I might have to eat some of that I'm hungry!
I hope my smoke detector doesn't go off
Can I have some? Thank You! mmmm
want to see? I'm amazed at one pulse after I added the tortilla chips
the tortilla chips are really crushed
yes. after just one second
Continually the NutriBullet impresses me
I agree and I think it's important to note that they both can make soup
This one just does it faster, it will take less time
than the Nutri Ninja, so it's a little bit easier if you're crunched for time
then definitely this would be the way to go
and essentially this NutriBullet Rx make the friction kind of like with this action
so it's just creating friction with the blade. So there's not a separate heating element
No. It's created through friction
And this one doesn't, even though it's really powerful
it's 1500 watts that's a really powerful blender it's not able to create enough friction to create heat
so for this hot soup blend off I definitely think the NutriBullet Rx outperformed the Nutri Ninja
because it made superior soup, it's hot already and it tasted so good!
ok well we hope you enjoyed this blendoff
