Soup season is rapidly approaching. As temperatures begin to drop across the country, it’s the perfect time to dust off the fall cookbooks and start planning the comforting meals that will carry us through the holiday hosting season.

However, your menu is only as good as the tools you have to bring it to life. When you’re cooking cozy comfort food for a crowd, powerful appliances can make all the difference in streamlining prep and reducing friction in the kitchen.

That’s why I’m eyeing the nutribullet Power Core XL Blender in the Labor Day sales. With $40 off, it’s one of the best blenders for big-batch cooking. Here’s why.

Before you start planning your fall table decor ideas, you should start with your menu. Whether you're hosting a Halloween gathering or looking forward to the Thanksgiving feast, stocking and organizing a kitchen ahead of time can reduce last-minute stress on the day.

Beyond the ingredients, however, you should be choosing the kitchen appliances that will serve you best. In soup and sauce season, there are few better than a quality blender. When hosting, the Power Core shines, with an extra-large capacity designed for meal prepping and batch cooking.

Reviewed by our appliance expert Alex Frost, the blender went through several tough tests, including batch-cooking thick pancakes. She wrote, 'I was immediately thrilled that I didn’t have to make it in two batches, like I normally have to do with a smaller blender. Instead, I dumped an entire container of cottage cheese in and still wasn’t even close to halfway to capacity. I added multiple cups of oats and the eggs, and still had plenty of room.'

The results were perfect, she noted. 'This proved the blender does well with higher quantities of food, not just because it has the capacity, but because it seems to blend better when there’s a heavier load to work with.'

The blender is made even better by the Labor Day sale, with 20% off ($20) with code LABORDAY at checkout. There has never been a better time to revitalize your kitchen ahead of peak hosting season.
