how can it heat soup?

Hi Barbara...the Vitamix makes soup. The blade speed is at such a high velocity that ingredients heat after a few minutes (follow instructions for complete timing information). For smoothies, I put in ice cubes to keep the drink cold when blending. For heating soup, use a microwave, especially if meat is involved.

The recipe for making soup typically involves letting the Vitamix run on high speed for more than 5 minutes. Running the blender that long makes the blades heat up which gets the soup hot. It works!

Turn it on high and run the vitamix for a few minutes. Soup will be steaming hot. If you have your recipe book it gives recipes and instruction for making a few soups I believe.

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.

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 have used a large skillet and soup pot and it radiates the heat to all of the bottoms of the pans. Remember, it is not a heating element as such but generates by magnetic energy to the pan.

I think you know the answer to this... Think about putting the soup into a ziplocked bag, taking the air out. Even though you removed all the air, it still would need something more to preserve it. You would toss it in the freezer. This device pulls the air out of a jar, sort of like squishing all the air out of a bag. Then you have to do something like freezing.

In my opinion, although it is not ideal, you could use the container for soup BUT it is not insulated so it will not stay hot and you would feel the heat when holding the container.

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.

I put soup in it in the morning, about 8 or so, after putting boiling water like it says andit is warm, not hot, at lunch time, about 12 or 12:30. It's not cold, but not hot, just warm.I like the lunch box and use it all the time!

There are 2 issues to consider - 1st: it´s easy to leak some liquid from it. 2nd: maybe it will be hard to wash inside after using soup, due to the heating system.

Yes, it works great on hot items. I have used it with various soup recipes with great success! I love this little machine!

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.

I have never tried to do soup....There is only a very short lip on the trays, if you did do the soup I think you would have to do a very small amount at a time......

The need to use hot water to the cup, then pour into the soup, so the thermal insulation effect will be better.

The steamer is used for making the soup. The important factor to make a good soup is slow cook and well maintained temperature. The function of the steamer is quite simple. Put the cooking material into the ceramic pot. The ceramic pot is immersed into the hot water. The hot water is heat up around 100 celsius. Then the steamer will control the temperature of the hot water around 100 celsius. Then after 2 hours, you will have a delicious soup. Such cooking method can tear the meat from the bone. Most of the time, we don't eat the meat because the nutrition is already in the soup.

Yes. However you'll need to freeze the soup in another container beforehand. Once it's frozen, put the soup into the food save and kept frozen until consumption. The bags can be safely heated in simmering water, or you can remove the entire soup block to a saucier and heat it on the stove.A few people suggest lining your container with a precut food saver bag before freezing, so that you only need to pull the frozen soup and bag out of your hard container - rather than fighting with an ice block of soup.

If not a warmer..place the wax container half or 3/4th dipped in a pan filled with water. Heat this pan of water on your cooking range till the wax melts. And use d wax side by side.Or empty the wax in a microwavable/plastic container and try heating it on a soup auto heat mode.

It would depend upon the diameter of your pan, but I do not think this would work unless you used a very wide pan and made your soup more shallow.
