Recommendation - Soup Container for Work

superrhinos

Apologies if this is on the wrong board. I wasn't quite sure where to post this.

Having had my lunchtime soup leak yet again I am looking for recommendations for a good soup carrier for work. Needs to be freezer proof and ideally dishwasher safe as well.

Thank you.

Hi Superrhinos

I take soup to work most days and use sistema soup mugs, I find them great, I fill em up, bung em in the freezer and take them to work frozen, then microwave at lunchtime - dishwasher safe too

They had 2 for £5.99 in Ald! recently

I have used a Sistema soup mug but if I am taking soup or hot food then I usually use a thermos food flask which has a wide neck and is stainless steel.

Is this home made soup, then we use the containers, plastic, from the Chinese takeaway. They leak the least!

And for home made veg soup.

Four carrots, chopped.
Onion, saut!ed.
Any other root
Celery to fill pot!
Can of plum toms
Add water to cover veg
Add Tom pur!e to taste
Add chilli, peppers, basil to taste.

Blitz when cooked.

Add spinach, about five clumps.

Makes about ten servings. Serve hot with homemaid bread!

It is homemade soup but your recipe sounds lovely and one I will be trying.

I also swear by the Sistema tupperwares because my OH and I use them for breakfast, lunch and two snacks. A couple of days a week, I even have to use them for dinner too.
We use the soup mugs, the noodle and oatmeal bowls and the steamer tupperwares. The steamer tupperwares are great for chicken and veg and the noodle and oatmeal bowls are great for chunky soups and other leftovers for lunch.

Maitane beat me to it another vote for Sistema noodle and soup bowls. I have a few now bought as Amazon add ons, TK Maxx sometimes have them too and Morrisons were doing an offer couple of weeks back....They freeze fine with the soup inside and I have never had the soup cup leak on me....:D

the Sistema noodle bowls are cheaper than the soup mugs in Sainsburys at the moment

I use Sistema, but the 3 I have have developed some kind of white marks on the inside, I'm not sure if it's the microwave or the dishwahser.. but I don't think they are ideal to put in the microwave and dishwahser. I've been looking for glass ones, but they are difficult to find and the ones I've found are expensive.

The only type I have used that haven't failed are "Lock and Lock" which are almost always quite cheap in TKMaxx.

We have always used a vacuum flask for soup and find that the Wilko own brand ones keep it hot for twelve hours.
