Will the insulated bag safely keep soup hot?

I've never tried it with hot food. Mostly cold. And without any additional ice packs- the food stays cold for maybe two hours. I would think if the hot item is like soup- it would keep warm for the same amount. Otherwise- mashed potatoes, pasta, chcken- no go.

Nope. And if you want a big portion of food, this won't be the choice either

I gave it as a gift but it has a good seal according to my friend and they say it works great, I wouldn't take soup in it but anything else should be fine. and keeping it in the tote bag ( even the Japanese tie theirs up in a 'napkin' ) and upright doesn't hurt as well, at least that how the one I have works. PS use the band it comes with to secure it...

It's NOT airtight. The middle compartment comes pretty close and I've had success with things like hummus and yogurt, but if you're looking to pack soup go with a standard thermos.

Yes, it's made to keep liquids hot as well as cold. You can easily use the cup on end of thermos to pour your soup in.

I don't use it for hot food, I use a cold pack. I would say it is not insulated so I don't think it would keep hot very long at all.

Yes，the handle can get hot, but it is fine with a little help of cloth wrapped on.

The cooler bag is insulated but is not designed to maintain heat for several hours. A thermos is recommended for keeping hot food hot. Additionally, I do not recommend putting an extremely hot container inside the cooler bag as the inside could be damaged by excessive heat. If a cold lunch is packed, an ice block should be included to maintain a cold temp for several hours. Food should already be chilled when packed. Do not store in the sun or a hot car. - Kelly Lester, ceo, EasyLunchboxes

If you are warming up the thermos correctly and for the full time before putting your soup in and it cools considerably after 4 hours, you might have a unit with a bad vacuum seal. If so, request an exchange. When properly done, my soups/spaghetti/etc remain hot for at least 12 hours and remain warm for up to 24 depending on how densely they are packed.

I don't think I would try boiling hot soup, but soup that's cool enough to eat should be fine.

Yes it is insulated but I can't attest to its ability to keep stuff warm or cold because I haven't tried it yet. I have just been using it as a little snack pouch

I find with cold food it needs an ice pack so I imagine you would need to use an insulated thermos to keep foods really warm/hot.

I wouldn't cook the soup in it- not a crock pot type warmer. It does heat up soup to an almost boil, but not for that intention I don't believe. Great for keeping hot.

The only, compartment that you could out in soup without spilling is the small container that has a twist lid. For me, it is too small, I don't think its meant for soups. onceI our soup in the largest compartment, which is intended for rice, and it spilled all over. So I think the answer to your question is NO. what I use for soup us the Thermos kiquid container. Its perfect for soup, won't spill and keeps your soup hot for several hours.

The thermos provided with this set is suitable for hot or cold beverages. I would use it for soup. Keep in mind the mouth isn't as large as the mouth of a food thermos. Also, this one is fairly tall, so be sure you have a proper cleaning brush for the inside.

The product is not designed to perform the function of a vacuum flask (thermos). There is no insulating space or material. The seal of the larger container is not airtight / leak-proof. The seal for the smaller container is better, but you should not rely on it. I would not rely on this product to keep food warm / hot / cool / cold.
