Can the plastic jar withstand hot soup -for pureeing into creamy soups like Cream of broccoli?

Hi I have this blender but have never made anything hot with it. My Blender is over a year old and is still good with no breakage it was only used for cold juic smoothies. Also I cannot fill it to the top. Only seems to work okay and mix and puree best at half full. so you may want to consider that as well

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.

I have never put any hot liquid into it but I would not buy it because it leaks.

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

The lid does have a plastic or rubber type seal in it, so I would think that exposure to something extremely hot could eventually warp the seal. I wouldn't hesitate to put hot tea in it though and keep upright. The glass is very thick and the lid absolutely leak-proof. I put these in my kids lunches and have no concern that they will break or leak. Its a very sturdy product. I put bottle and lid in the dishwasher (perhaps as many as 50 times) and have no troubles. I hope that is helpful!

I'm guessing yes. I warm all sorts of stuff in mine. Need stew, spaghetti, soup and more. I haven't tried a liquid. Not sure how spill proof pure liquid will be. I mean when I have soup it gets tossed around and it's been fine so far.

Just like a normal mason jar, these little guys definitely withstand the heat. but I would definitely not microwave the lid. And make sure to use tongs or a pot holder when removing from the microwave. They glass gets super hot.

My daughter takes soup for lunch almost every day for the past year or so...the leftover soup is still relatively hot when she gets home and other than a few dings, it held up great...and til the lid that holds the spoon fell off the top shelf in the dishwasher and was resting on the heating coil at the bottom. It melted a hole in the side of the lid...but that isn't Thermos' fault. I was looking for a replacement lid online but couldn't find one so I just bought a new thermos.

I don't see why not. It is sturdy and the glass is not thin. But I would personally not close the lid with hot liquid inside unless I left a LOT of headspace at the top, because it does not seem to be intended to be used as a canning jar.

I would not recommend doing that. The jar is deep and would heat unevenly. There is a good possibility that the bottom would expand and cause a fracture as the sides would not expand proportionally. These are not pyrex and are not intended for heating in this manner.

I did not try mixing with soup or warm liquids but it should. All protein degrades if it gets to hot. Soup should be fine or other warm liquids.

The finished product is very fine and, using the filter,, should be OK.The soup does come out very hot so watch the temperature !

It's pretty thin plastic - like you would get cole slaw or condiments in. I have not tried them with hot liquids. I would not trust them in a microwave oven, as I think they would melt.

I haven't tried to make soup yet, but I do use my Blendtech almost daily making smoothies, salad dressings, peanut butter etc... I have not had any problems with the lid. If this is a concern, just hold the lid down while processing. It only takes seconds for this blender to pulverize anything you put in it.

I have never tried it. In theory, as long as the jar fit in the space provided, which I don't know if it would, it should be possible. That said a jar would most likely be completely submerged under water during the heating process as the warmer fills to the top, so I'm not sure if it is a good idea.

Yes. The first thing I made in this blender was "Lima Cheese Soup" which is made of cooked lima beans, water, milk, onion, and cheese, all blended together till smooth. I put the hot cooked beans/water/onion mixture directly into the blender and add the milk and cheese chunks and blend till smooth. (Since I make a large recipe, I do in 3 batches in blender). The blender jar is tempered glass and has no trouble handling hot liquids as well as cold.

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.

Its probably ok. Plastic in the lid might start to take on the flavor but i' thinking of getting the all metal replacement lid for mine. Also cold liquid seems to stay really cold it it for quite awhile, i'm assuming it will be the same with hot, it will probably be too hot to hold in your hand.

If soup, ok; sour food, better not, though inner wall of stainless steel seems satisfyingly thick and shining. Maybe ok to store for a short time:)

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.
