Is it big enough for chicken soup with a chicken and lots of veggies

Wish I could; it was a gift for my daughter. One was quite small; she sent it back. The other was quite big and great for soups, etc.

If it's a smaller chicken--4 lbs or under, it would probably be ok. But, for chicken soup using a larger chicken with many vegetables I usually use the 8 or 12 quart stockpot. I love the pot you're referring to. It's superb for Italian sauce with meatballs & so many other wonderful meals. I wouldn't want to be without it. But, I think one of the stock pots would be better for chicken soup.

Not much of a chicken strangler myself, but yes, I would say so. It's quite broad, so provided that your chicken doesn't attempt to stand up in the pot, I'm reasonably confident that it would work fine, with plenty of veggies. (I am assuming that you're talking about the 8 quart pot.)

It does not hold liquids. A thick stew would probably be ok, but soup would leak out. I've asked Bento to design one with a better seal.

I would say at least one large bag and one small. I find it is much better suited for regular food. I have fit a large family size bag of chicken, a medium pork roast, 2 gallons of ice cream, 5 or 6 frozen veggies and fruit nicely and still had some room for small items like frozen cans of juice. I store my bags of ice in my upright which is deeper. This freezer is longer and is not as deep so I find that the narrower items fit better

Yes! this is the perfect size to cook a whole chicken! I have done this several times. This is the best crock-pot!

I haven't cooked a full chicken or duck in mine yet, but I would think there'd be plenty of room.

The opening measures approximately 2 1/4 inches across. The very top of the opening is slightly larger but it does narrow to 2 1/4. Yes, I believe it would hold a can of Campbell's soup.

I find this a perfect size for 2-4 people. I've used it mostly for soup. Think you would want something more shallow for frying chicken. I like using plain cast iron for that.

Jon, I honestly don't know but I would imagine it would hold quite a bit. This is not a small cooker...I love it. If you can picture a full size chicken in it there is still plenty of room...height wise. It measures 4" deep...excluding the lid. Hope this helps. Marcia Ooops, saw someone's answer....6 qts.

They're about a foot long and very skinny. They stretch A LOT. So, when you fill them, they are short and fat. To make my chicken soup, I use two of them. I put the chicken in one and the vegetables in the other. They definitely will not fit in one bag. But, these are great! They make soup making so much easier!!! I can't believe I didn't know about these until about a year or two ago.

Would be large enough for a side dish - like potatoes or broccoli - but not big enough for two people for a main dish.

I believe a whole chicken would fit, but I believe it is better suited for one pot meals, like ham, potatoes and string beans or stews and soups. I would bake a whole chicken

I don't see why not, as long as you don't need space for more that a few Tablespoons! And it would be the cutest soup bowl ever!!!!

I think so. I have used it for large roasts, lots of vegetables and even though you are only supposed to fill no more than 2/3 full , that has been plenty of room for the things I have cooked in it.

We had a smaller version of this for our family of 4. It works well for some things (mostly desert or sides like beans and stews), but we also got the bigger size (8 quart) because we wanted to be able to cook bigger things like a whole chicken or a roast.

No. It comes with a basket you could use. I think the skewers are available but cost extra. You could use the two prongs that hold the chicken as skewers I would think.

Probably not. It is very good size, but I don't think you'd be happy with the results as if it fits, it would barely fit. Large roasts, ducks, chickens are a good fit.

Yes, unless the turkey is so big as to take up all the room inside. I cook veggies same time as chicken often.
