can it chop carrots, etc for soup

Oh yes. It is great for soup vegetables. Just a pulse or two. I chop dates with nuts and make a great crust for fruit pies etc. There are several blades for slices that I haven't used yet. This is not your mother's food processor!!! Much better.

Yes it sure can. However, sometimes I find that it does "too good of a job". On things like onion used in a potatoe salad, it comes out more minced than my husband and I like. Sorta ends up mushy and I have to drain the onion juice away from the end product. It might be me though... I prefer to chop onion with a manual chopper. "Carrots, etc?" I love it!!! You will too!! I can't recall the differentiations of this model vs another as I did a comparison with a good share of other models and brands a long while back. it has done a superb job!.... Hope this helps.

Absolutely. We use it to shred carrots and cabbage for coleslaw, but if you use the larger slicing disc, it would be great for chopping veggies for soup, etc.This is a great product. We purchased it a year ago and it still works like new :)

For those of you who get great results shredding carrots: WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? My main purpose for buying a food processor was to grate carrots for carrot cake. I am EXTREMELY DISATISFIED with this processor!!! It creates huge pieces of carrot mixed in with the shredded carrot in the bowl. And, LOTS and LOTS of chunks of carrot are left on the top of the shredder, not even making it into the bowl. I have to fish out the chunks of carrot before I can use the shredded stuff. Please tell me I'm doing something wrong. I was so excited to buy this food processor but now it just sits on the shelf.

I haven't tried chopping any of those items, but I would guess it would work just fine. The blades are quite sharp and I've had no problems chopping large chunks of onion with mine.

I have not used it for that...the blades are quite sharp...I am guessing that it will chop your dog food...the chopping well is fairly small...it may only do 1 meal at a time (depending on the size & appetite of your dog).

I'm not sure. I use it primarily for my green smoothie. It has a soup button, but never used it.

Yes! That is what this device does best. Although it is also very good at larger jobs. My daughter purees a large pot of soup with it.

i am using it to chop veggies for adults as well now. I see many years of use from it ( presumably that it would work)

Yes, this is what I originally bought it for. It is also great for shrimp, vegetables, soup stock, etc.

We use it as a dough knife most of the time. It will work for chopping, but we prefer a knife for that. It's great for gathering up chopped veggies or meat to transfer them to a pot or bowl.

Yes, you can chop raw carrots. My suggestion is to measure the raw carrots needed before they are chopped. That might seem like an unnecessary suggestion, but when I made the mistake of chopping some things and then measuring, it made a difference in the recipe and not a good one.

Yes, it has to go somewhere..just chop it up and use in the rest of your recipe..or save that and the top that you can't shred for soup

I've only used the chopping function once to make the soup recipe that it came with.... and that was a few months ago. What I recall, it was like a runny salsa. Sorry I can't be more help.

It can chop food, but will not chop thing into a paste as well as a food processor can. So it depends on what you want to make.

It works fabulously for just about anything you want to use it. Soup, stews, you name it you can use it for it.
1731559
Yes. You can do onions, carrots and other veggies just fine. Done it many times with no isssues.

I haven't tried that but I'm sure it can. It's very powerful and sharp. I only tap it a total of 3-4 times to chop ginger down to fluid

Yes, it works great on hot items. I have used it with various soup recipes with great success! I love this little machine!

Yes, it should chop chocolate just fine. I use it for everything from chopping fresh herbs for dishes and salads to shedding pork for bar-b-q sandwiches.
