Will the insert accommodate a whole chicken for making soup?

the insert is large enough for a whole chicken if you cut it up, and maybe a whole hen if it is small enough.

Yes plenty big enough for a whole large chicken and you have room for vegetables to go with it.

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.

A large chicken can fit on top of this. It will fit n a stove. The chicken comes out really moist and delicious.

Yes or the top trays won't fit - also protects the heating element, and catches vege or meat etc juice that can be used in soups or sauces.

I'm vegan so I haven't attempted this but I would guess a small chicken or two Cornish hens might fit if that's ask you out in. Since the pot is round it would be an awkward fit for a whole chicken but cut pieces would fit nicely. There's a small recipe book with about 10 things in it. Nothing to shout about. A basic slow cooker recipe will do.

It's approximately 9 inches across by 6 1/2 deep. We have no problem doing small roasts, ribs, or whole chickens. We also do soups and stews in it.

No. It is too small. Maybe a Cornish hen, but a whole chicken would overflow the oil.

I don't think it would be big enough for a chicken, unless it is a couple of Bantums. I wouldn't put my full sized chicken in there. I hope that helps.

I guess so, though I have never tried it. If it is a thick or chunky soup it may not come through the pour hole. You may need to remove the stopper and then pour out the soup.

No! Okay, maybe a very small, store bought chicken. I bought this to cook home processed chickens after reading only the answer about the turkey. But I can't even fit the legs in without separating thigh and drumstick. Not even close to fitting the chicken whole.

I use mine in my 3-qt. saucepan and my 4-qt. soup pot. It fits perfectly in either one.

No, you can only put pieces of chicken in the basket. If you want to cook a whole chicken you would need to get the Compact or larger.

I think yes you can as long as it fits there. I'm not sure if there is any recepy for it but you can follow any recipe book you like. I never made a full chicken, but I did a lot of different dishes with chicken. Delicious meal. Completely different taste.

Yes, there is no problem fitting a whole chicken in the dutch oven. Cooks it all evenly too

No. These spoons are like mini-ladles. The soup is taken from the ladle end. It's a perfect portion - a little deeper than a tablespoon. Great for wonton and chicken soup as well as chowders.

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.
