Yes, it's made to keep liquids hot as well as cold. You can easily use the cup on end of thermos to pour your soup in.

The thermos provided with this set is suitable for hot or cold beverages. I would use it for soup. Keep in mind the mouth isn't as large as the mouth of a food thermos. Also, this one is fairly tall, so be sure you have a proper cleaning brush for the inside.

Yes soup or even oatmeal if you don't mind the clean up after. This thermos is a great product for keeping food stuff of the liquid or semi liquid variety warm for hours at a time. Hope this helps.

If you could fit the full kettle into something like a plastic milk crate and make sure it's secure and won't tip over you might be Ok. The lid is a hinge so you would maybe want to cover the interior pot with plastic wrap then foil. This kettle won't re-heat the soup hot enough to combat any bacteria growth that occurs during transport due to unsafe temperature holding. So transport soup this way at your own risk.

Yes or no depending on what you mean as top. In the thermos area there are two bowls. They BOTH have to be hot or cold. On top of those two bowls is a lid and then two more bowls at ROOM temperature. If you want your fruit at room temperature you can use one of those bowls. If you want your fruit cold, you can not mix the hot and cold.

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.

If you are warming up the thermos correctly and for the full time before putting your soup in and it cools considerably after 4 hours, you might have a unit with a bad vacuum seal. If so, request an exchange. When properly done, my soups/spaghetti/etc remain hot for at least 12 hours and remain warm for up to 24 depending on how densely they are packed.

I would recommend buying a stainless steel Thermos for school lunch. One with a built-in space for a folding stainless steel spoon. That's what I bought for my daughter since elementary and she still uses it for high school. I mainly bought the insulated canister for storing my favorite tea leaves to keep them fresh.

You MUST be careful. If the glass is cool, the hot liquid WILL shatter it. Please err on the side of caution and allow the soup too cool before pouring. Besides, fat rises to the top over time, you're going to have to wait anyway...

I wash the whole thermos by hand--I would not put ANY parts in the dishwasher just to be on the safe side. I love this thermos--it keeps my soup hot until lunchtime !!!

yes. just run it without a k-cup. the only problem is you can't head up more than the amount of 1 large coffee cup's worth of hot water. So, if you want more than 1 cup's worth of soup, this probably won't work.

I used a plastic one pint soup container with a plastic top that I punched a hole in. The plastic container works really good and the price was right - free, not counting the hot and sour soup that I bought.

No. The lid has no way to secure it closed. Also hot water is what keeps the soup warm. With the lid unsecured the hot water would spill in case of an accident. It is a very good product for stationary use.

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.

It holds the can of soup, but it is not completely watertight like a lock&lock.; If you need to transport soup, I'd use a thermos.

Yes initially, but I transfer it to a regular thermos container because the thermal carafe doesn't keep it as hot.

Yes you can. I have cooked soup and hot dogs in mine. It is very versatile, and I use mine every day.

I assume they would be okay, but remember that it's not really insulated, so don't do anything hotter than you would handle with bare hands. Warm soup would be better than very hot.

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