Can it hold a can-of-ready-to-eat soup with a little room to spare so it can be safely carried?

I would carry it by a plate underneath. That's the only safe way to do it. The bowl will be hot & with only a little room to hold at the top. And you don't have to worry about splashing on the way to your destination....... :)

I just tried putting in 16 oz. of liquid and there was about 1/2 inch rim left. It might be safely carried that way but I would probably eat a bite or two before carrying it :).

I don't eat canned soup, but these bowls easily hold 16 ounces, with some room to spare.

It does not hold liquids. A thick stew would probably be ok, but soup would leak out. I've asked Bento to design one with a better seal.

no. it is a very simple and spacious backpack to be used to store food while on a trip.

Nope. There is room for only one Bento in the carrying bag. You could put additional silverware and napkins around it.

Yes, I think so. It is 10 oz. A big soup can like chunky is 12. So u can fit it all in except for a little broth. Add carrot sticks or some potato chips and good to go.

I have put wet curries and thick soups in without problem, but every time I have used it for anything that has a real broth (water-like) base has leaked some, but as long as you carry it upright, it works great! So only in a rough situation would I not carry a soup in it, but I use it to carry soups to work.

Caitlin, it would be best to carry in hand. The straps are not long enough to carry like a tote comfortably.

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

I gave it as a gift but it has a good seal according to my friend and they say it works great, I wouldn't take soup in it but anything else should be fine. and keeping it in the tote bag ( even the Japanese tie theirs up in a 'napkin' ) and upright doesn't hurt as well, at least that how the one I have works. PS use the band it comes with to secure it...

I guess it could, but they are super super tiny. The soup would be a mouthful and get cold in 30 seconds.

It would have a to be a small slice. This holds maybe 10 -12 oz. and is about the size of a soup can inside.

A little more than 20 ounces. It will hold an entire can of Progresso soup without boiling over.

You should be able to carry it if you don't fill it all the way up and the ride is smooth. The part that holds the soup is a cylinder inside the black kettle. The lid that you see in the picture sits loosely on top of the kettle and isn't sealed or held thigh against the top. Hope that helps.

That handle just opens the lid when sitting flat. You would have to clamp it shut somehow to be able to carry it with the big handle.

There is no liquid tight feature on this unit, but the contents are essentially double contained. If you keep the pot from tipping over spilling is not a big concern. I've used it to transport soups, so far no problem.

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.

I believe it will work for soups. The lid fits tight and snug, there should not be an leakage. I store approximately two 5 lb bags of flour in mine and carry it with the handle that is attached on top of the lid to my counter.
