Can one comfortably eat a watery soup without spilling it off the spoon as it comes through the opening of the jar?

No. But depends on size of the spoon. For watery soup, you do have to be careful opening it. So, don't fill it to the top and open slowly.

I have never eaten watery soup from it, but it seems to me it would not be difficult. There is a large enough opening for the spoon to be inserted and come out easily, remaining in an upright position.

Yes of course. The opening is big enough to eat comfortably. I gave my husband soups and oatmeal to work, and he never complained, loved it.

If you could fit the full kettle into something like a plastic milk crate and make sure it's secure and won't tip over you might be Ok. The lid is a hinge so you would maybe want to cover the interior pot with plastic wrap then foil. This kettle won't re-heat the soup hot enough to combat any bacteria growth that occurs during transport due to unsafe temperature holding. So transport soup this way at your own risk.

I used a plastic one pint soup container with a plastic top that I punched a hole in. The plastic container works really good and the price was right - free, not counting the hot and sour soup that I bought.

Not really, but I haven't used it for anything really watery. Mostly kiddos lunch, without much sauce and everything stays in place :)

Joanna K. - please let me clarify. What I meant by clean is that it did not touch anything else before use. Apparently with ghee, it needs to be one step just below sterile or close to sterile. So, if you used the ghee to add to soup or something where condensation could have been picked up onto the spoon (not saying you dipped the spoon in the soup), use another spoon for the next dip in the jar. Hope this helps.

YES !!!!!!!!! The actual opening at the top is almost 4 and 3/4 inches wide .Plenty big for a spoon . VERY WELL MADE jar .

I have two of these - it is microwaveable.....it has an insert for steaming things. But, I wouldn't consider it leakproof. I put soup in it - but I do not turn it upside down. There is a tight seal when you put the strap on top - but, again, I wouldn't just throw it around with soup in it. Hope this helps!To clarify - the lids just sit on top of the containers. They are not threaded and there is no real seal/snap on type - the strap holds the lids tightly to the containers.

I have filled it with soupy noodles, but you do have to be careful not to crush it. It is leakproof, but not squish proof. After a while, I discovered a funny smell. Nothing toxic, just seems to have absorbed my numerous lunches and can't quite get the smell out. I think over all better for cold (no heating required) food.

The description says you can. I have not done so, so far, but I do love this cup, holds a lot of soup on these cold winter nights :) ...

It depends on how liquid we're talking. The top doesn't seal nearly as well as the bottom. I had onion soup (homemade, pretty viscous) in the bottom with no leaks at all. If you press down on the middle of the middle divider to seal it, it creates the best seal. I believe they say it isn't "leak-proof," but I'd be comfortable with anything short of actual liquidy soup in it.

It depends on what you're used to in terms of spoon size. I think it's on the normal side as far as spoons go but it's definitely not large. Yes, it's definitely suitable for soup!

No. The lid has no way to secure it closed. Also hot water is what keeps the soup warm. With the lid unsecured the hot water would spill in case of an accident. It is a very good product for stationary use.

A "watery gruel" is an entirely appropriate outcome for this machine's "porridge" setting. It's meant for soup. Now the way to create the best damn bowl of McCann's you will ever likely set spoon to is to use the porridge setting but forget the lines. Use 1 part grain to 2 parts water. Feel free to dump in a handful of plump flame raisins, a pinch of salt, a shake of apple pie seasoning and a dash of vanilla. Mornings will never be the same ...

yeah for sure. good idea actually. i wouldn't do a soup or liquid - not sure if water tight. i carry crackers around in ours.

Well, my 7 y/o uses it for lunch. I typically send a bowl along to pour the soup into. An adult could probably eat right out of it.

I have put wet curries and thick soups in without problem, but every time I have used it for anything that has a real broth (water-like) base has leaked some, but as long as you carry it upright, it works great! So only in a rough situation would I not carry a soup in it, but I use it to carry soups to work.

I break my instant noodles into 4 pieces. Then thow them in, add a bottle of water and nuke it for 2:30mins at high, bring it out, mix the noddles around and put it back in for another 2 mins without lid this time (or else it gets bubbles raising). I love it, it's great for soup, it won't spill
