can I mix this with hot broth or soup? Or hot foods in general?

It will cook the egg, resembling scrambled eggs in your soup. I tried it in oatmeal once, didn't like the result. I only use it for protein shakes.

It tends to clump up like cooked eggs when added to anything hot. I wouldn't.

yes. it can be mixed w/ any liquid. I like to use coconut water, vitamin water, coffee, milk or water w/ fruit.

Yes you can. I mix it with both hot water and milk. When mixing with water I noticed I needed to use more mix to fulfill the flavor.

Yes... not a problem adding hot soup to the blender. I start with a small quantity and the top on to get the blades turning, then add in the rest of the soup.

It might all depend on the type of soup and how it is treated. I put hot mac and cheese in the bottom, then it fell of the counter, the sauce ran up the sides and started coming out, and made a real mess. So I would probably avoid broth based soups, and stick to more "stew types" (e.g. split pea, chowder, lentil..etc...).

You cannot add it to a hot liquid. I mixed it with 1/4 cup of powdered milk and a bit of fruit to sweeten it. I cannot stand artificial sweeteners or stevia. I would rather sweeten it myself using a real sugar in small quantity. I used a small single serve blender or it can be mixed with a fork. Put real food in it and no more than a tsp of real sugar. You can even use a bit of real cocoa powder if you like chocolate.

There are some restaurants that do serve this type of soup in a bread bowl. Personally I've never tried to do so but don't see why it wouldn't work. Do try substituting a cup of half & half for one cup of water (added at the end of the boiling & simmering) to make a thicker soup. Good luck

I would say yes to Soups, but I can't imagine using it for Macaroni. Even with soups you would want to be sure to wash it thoroughly so no grease was left on the sides to change the flavor of future water usage.I love this Hot Pot but only use it for boiling water.

Indeed you can...I mix the cocoa wit a bit of sugar, so that the cocoa doesn't clump and add warm milk also it doesn't clump then mix in cold milk..really delicious as I like dark chocolate best.

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!

It can. You would need to treat it like a thickening adgent if you are not going to blend it though: take the amount you want and a bit of the hot liquid and make a paste. keep adding to that paste until it is creamy and then add it into your soup/broth. I agree with the person that said it may taste a bit chalky , but it is not so noticeable that it is unbearable.

Whey protein mixes really really bad in warm liquids, i have tried mixing it in my coffee and it creates a disgusting mess. However i guess you could dissolve it first in a cup of cold water and then add it to your soup.

Yes you can and Ziplock has a recipe page http://www.ziploc.com/Recipes/Pages/default.aspx that you can go to for ideas on how to cook with mixed ingredients.

I generally just mix it with purified water. You could mix it with skim milk if you wanted to as well.

Yes, you can. That is exactly what I do. I find it mixes better with hot beverages rather than cold.

I personally used it with hot dog pieces, chicken, liver and no problems! It´ll take just about anything!

I agree with Rebecca. At first you will have some trial and error because you need to decide how thick/thin you need the liquid or food (such as soup, juices, meds, etc). If you want it like applesauce consistency, you will need a couple of the scoop spoons. You do not want to make this up ahead of time. Mix it as needed.
