is this the model in which you can make soup?

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.
1016662
Yes! I love that I can let it run for 5-7 minutes and have hot soup at the end.
1016663
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".

Yes it is - all current Vitamix spin at a high speed that will produce heat due to friction from the blades on the item(s) you're blending - The Vitamix Professional 300 has the 4" blades (vs. the older 3" blades, on say the 5200) and would therefore have an even faster speed at the blade tip and therefore produce more frictional heat - I use this same friction heat principle daily to clean my Vitamix, I add warm/hot water and a drop of soap - after blending on high for 1-2 min, the soapy water/foam is too hot to touch (exceeds 160 F). More specifically to answer your specific question, I use this feature to make super creamy soups blended to a perfect top restaurant quality consistency . . . and hot. As another response commented, I have not had the problem of it whipping in too much air, I understand this happens due to making a very small amount of soup (1 serving only). My experience creating soups in the VitaMix Professional 300 have been that soups are blended to perfection (I've made many types: broccoli, tomato, lobster bisque, etc.,).

Yes, wonderful soups at a moment's notice. I began with the asparagus soup in the recipe book and now I've become very creative making soups with abandon!

Yes, it is. I like it mainly for cooking soups, stews and sauces on the top of the stove.

In the microwave? I suppose so. I put leftover soup or spaghetti in a small one to reheat for lunch. Personally I prefer to make the soup on a stove top so the flavors have more time to blend, but if you were making something simple, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The All Clad Immersion Blender has a stainless steel shaft and sharp blades. It would be fine for heavy soups. I wouldn't recommend blending ice with it.

Yes. This model has a stainless steel wand and its own beaker, whisk, chopper and purée masher attachment . Plus the Soup XL pan blender - an attachment specially designed for blending soups directly into the saucepan without splashing.

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.

It is possible however you need a very long spoon to move the food. I have made half of the pot of soup and I wear a pot holder mitt to stir because it gets very hot trying to reach all the way down to the bottom.

The blade and housing are made of metal and should be able to blend soups. I'm not sure about ice. The manual does not indicate that those items are a problem.

Yes, I think so. It is 10 oz. A big soup can like chunky is 12. So u can fit it all in except for a little broth. Add carrot sticks or some potato chips and good to go.

I haven't tried soups. But I normally make a brown, black, sweet, lentil and bean rice which I like. Hope that helps.

I ordered it for Christmas and have used it several times since. I have no issues with it at all and love it.. It's great for making soups...

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

Yes it is and I love it! I also cook potatoes as well as soup in it. I use it 3 to 4 times a week.

Yes! That is what this device does best. Although it is also very good at larger jobs. My daughter purees a large pot of soup with it.

Did you use the stainless pot? I have never tried making soup with it - just rice and steam (buns, left overs, eggs, meat etc). I don't think it would be good to make soup because soups usually take hours and the water outside the stainless inner pot will dry out before the soup is ready. You can make congee with it but soup is probably better with regular pot or a croakpot. Hope that helps.

Yes. I eat soup out of these bowls all the time. I really love these bowls!

Yes it does. Its well designed. I love it to make large pots of homemade soup and chilli.
