Can this be used to cook and dispense soups?

It should work fine though the spigot might be a bit narrow to allow some soups to dispense correctly

It's big, holds liquid, and can withstand the heat. I wouldn't try to use the valve as a dispenser though. It would probably clog if it was very chunky soup.

Yes , this pot would be excellent for stews and pot roasts. I use mine to make spaghetti sauce. I never have to worry about the sauce scorching on the bottom due to the high quality of this pot.

You should be able to. We got it for cooking a rack of lamb, which is not very balanced, and had no problems.

yes! my daughter uses it for soup sometimes, it stays hot to warm for 4-5 hours

I haven't and would not use it for soup. In my opinion, it's not deep enough to cover vegetables and or meat with broth. I always use my stock pot for soups.

This pot can be used all purpose. We cook Hot Pot, sometimes Rice and/or soups, too.

yes if it is just broth. If it is chunky then don't waste your time. the chunks stick to the heating element and you end up with a burnt tasting soup and good luck trying to clean it

i would say yes. we use it daily to heat the vegetable soup that my wife makes for the dogs and it boils l 8-qt stockpost sized pot in about 25 minutes

No, I wouldn't consider it safe to make soup in this pan as it is heavy, and the depth is only 3 inches deep. It would be very risky to try to pour the soup into another container without it splashing & causing a burn.A much safer thing to do for soup is to make it in a slow cooker (crock pot), or in a kettle large enough on the stove. For either method, use a large, long-handled ladle to remove the soup.Hope this helps.

I'm not sure, but you probably could, you can make chowders and other soups in it and when I make beans in the oven, the go into a boil. Some one else may have a better answer based on experience.

I agree with the other reviewer. Yes, it can be used as a soup pot without the strainer. I do it all the time. However, when browning beef in it, they stick horribly and the overall quality seems very flimsy. You definitely get what you pay for in this case.

Yes you can. But like I mentioned in my review, the bowl is concaved, so it's hard to sauté garlic/onions in the beginning. But yes you can cook stews, chowders and small chicken dishes.

I don't think it would be used to carry soup but they do make another product made for that purpose.

I use it for soups such as pumpkin soup etc. You should be fine with gravy and soups.

I haven't (I've mostly used it for sauces and soups) but my bet is that it would work quite well. It's a really super pan.

Yes. This blender puree hot liquids for soups. The glass is resistant to high temperature and I have to confess that, as the glass is weight, I have changed it for one made of plastic and it still work perfect and also resistant to high temperature. I consider that this is one of the best buy that I have made. I hope this help you.

It could be used for soup, although it takes a while to get real hot and cleaning might be difficult.
