Does this model make hot soup?

It does. The cycle menu button has a setting for soups and fondue. Use the speed arrow buttons to select the soup option. The speed of the blade is what heats up the soup.

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

The instruction and recipe booklet with it says it does...I've never tried it...I just use it for smoothies.

No it doesn't. Sorry to report. Even with hot water to warm it, food is luke warm at best.

Yes it does BUT I have been struggling to make soup because every time it comes out like a mousse instead of a soup because of too much air. I have been researching online and there are steps but it does take some work to make soup be "soupy".

I actually do use it for soup. Of course you have to be careful, like opening a hot radiator.

I returned my blender after two or three soup efforts as the heating element failed. If I remember correctly the plastic thing is not long enough to reach the blades and it is used to push material down into the blender. I am not for sure as I purchased a ninja blender and simply cook my soup on the stove now. You may have better luck than I did.

Yes, but I think all the Vitamix models make soup. Basically, if you run the machine for several minutes, the blades run so fast it creates heat and will heat your ingredients inside.

Yes you can. I have cooked soup and hot dogs in mine. It is very versatile, and I use mine every day.

Yes, I guess it would heat up soup. Not sure how it would work and if you would need to put at least a small amount of water in the reservoir without damaging the unit.

I haven't specifically made hot pot, but there's really no reason that I can think of why you couldn't. It doesn't have a huge capacity, but I have used it for a coconut milk based Cambodian fish soup because it holds it at a specific temp.

There is a dial type thermostat. I would say make sure the soup is hot already. It works great, just put in hot soup. Although, in have never tried to put like nacho cheese or Cannes soups.

Rick Parker said it well (previous comment) You can only boil water in this hot pot, then add to cup or bowl for beverages or soup. Do not put any other ingredients into the water chamber. Hope that helps!

I have put soup from a can in mine and it works fine. I let it heat up a few hours. Never gets overcooked either.

When I poured hot soup in one, it cracked and broke. So, no I would not.. It was pretty and a great size.

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

I haven't because I don't think it's deep enough to really cook soup (except for perhaps a very fast-cooking type of soup.) The flavors and ingredients wouldn't really meld, IMO. Also, although the lid seems very secure and tight, I'm not sure it would seal in the cooking ingredients well enough to do the slow-cook thing for several hours without losing too much liquid.

I'm not sure what the owners manual says, but I use mine for hot soups occasionally and it's held up fine

It does get pretty hot, however I'm not sure you could truely cook anything in it - per se, as it is a warmer - not a true cooker. However, it "cooked" a can of soup for me in about 30 minutes. I warmed a rice based dish in it and that was perfect. Also mac and cheese. I have also thought that it might be good for cooking hot dogs - you'd have to cut them in half and add water - but I think it has enough heat for those (they are "cooked" already).
