No one said much about soups. Does it heat the soup like the Vitamix does?

I can confirm that it does heat up soups in about 45 seconds. There's even a setting for soups.

I use it for soup, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to boil it. Its more than just a warmer!

I have not had mine long and so far have only made soup in it. I look forward to doing some roasting and believe with the convection part what you want to do would work but that's just a guess.

I cannot speak to soup but I have brewed 15 batches of beer in this and I haven't had any burning. Scorching on the bottom is a common problem for home brewers but not with this pot. Very thick bottom on this thing. Hope this helps!

I think so....it heats evenly, the sides can get hot, but if keep at a low temp with frequent stirring. Works great for soups, sauces I have made. Good Luck!

There are 2 issues to consider - 1st: it´s easy to leak some liquid from it. 2nd: maybe it will be hard to wash inside after using soup, due to the heating system.

No it doesn't. Sorry to report. Even with hot water to warm it, food is luke warm at best.

I have not tried it for soup. I think my is set at about 190 now, but I think it can be set higher. I have been very happy with this one.

No. I use a regular thermos lunch box and put soup in this jar with a large spork, sandwich, soda, and a couple of candy bars.

I use mine as soup...although both of mine don't seam to stay hot for long...Im sure its cause of the elements im in but I would think it would stay hot longer....I put boiling hot soup in it at around 645am and have to make sure I eat it before noon...but never really get lunch till after 2...it does not work as good as my coffee thermos

I don't think that I would try it for hot soup. It is fairly small. I used it for carrots/celery/ranch dressing. I don't know how it would handle the temperature of soup.

It comes with a very lame cookbook ( don't worry If you didn't get one). Just go online and search for recipes for a thermal cooker. Basically if you have thE one that has a small cooker and a larger one, you use the smaller one for things like rice and the larger one for the soup/beans/main meal. It's best to heat food for several minutes or to boiling, then cover to continue cooking. It's pretty easy and there's lots of info online. Experiment and enjoy!

Yes. This model has a stainless steel wand and its own beaker, whisk, chopper and purée masher attachment . Plus the Soup XL pan blender - an attachment specially designed for blending soups directly into the saucepan without splashing.

I haven't and would not use it for soup. In my opinion, it's not deep enough to cover vegetables and or meat with broth. I always use my stock pot for soups.

I have used for soup, I add hot water to the thermos while heating soup on the stove. The soup stays warm.

Anything you put in while it is blending/cooking will be blended to liquid...you have to add cut veggies after it is hot...there is a recipe booklet that tells you how to make different soups

Yes, but it does help if the liquid is heated before adding to the ingredients in the Vitamix. This tip was provided by a Vitamix demonstrator at Costco. I never walk away from my Vitamix when making soup due to steam buildup. I love the soup recipes in the Vitamix recipe book and I love my Vitamix.
