I am planning to be making a lot of Soup, as a start - and I wanted to ask - does anyone know of any (non drip) soup containers / cups that can be popped in a bag to take to work?
Many thanks x

Wilko do a 400ml screw top beaker which would be ideal if you are able to reheat in a microwave at work - just need to remove the lid before reheating.
The other alternative is a small flask which wouldn't need reheating if you heat it up in the microwave at home.
Any of the Lock-n-Lock boxes will do - they don't leak. Just remove the lid to zap.
Sistema do microwave soup mugs and breakfast pots, which turn up on sale regularly in Lidl. The majority have vents which may leak, but not all. However, it's worth emailing them to ask.
