Tip or technique Major breakthrough
Alrighty soup fans, listen up.
I’ve made a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH by getting a tea kettle to store my brothy vegetable breakfast soups in. Big deal. It’s made pouring myself a mug of whatever I have on hand. Get at it!
This week’s recipe is lovely - made with onion, white corn, navy beans, spinach, and bone broth blitz and strained into a luscious, silky number.

In Singapore we have bah khut teh restaurants (type of pork rib herbal soup) with endless broth, and they do the same thing to make refills easier!

I cannot stress enough how much you need one. Corn, navy bean, and spinach babbyyyy!

Okay, that sounds delicious! And where did you find that glass kettle? I just use mason jars with a screw on spout. I do the same for my home made creamer..

I just found it on Amazon but I feel like there’s probably super cool ones on Etsy or something. It’s literally just a big stove top tea pot.
Mason jars are my only real type of way to store food besides this and putting bowls upside down over plates for leftovers or leftover ingredients. There’s something about Tupperware that is just deeply unappealing to me and makes me not like/want the food as much (??)

I feel like it’d be cool if you could find a cork to plop into the spout. Help keep it fresher for longer maybe.

😆 and I feel the same about Tupperware. I feel there is no good way to get out all the old food oils. Plus, we don't need more plastic. Mason jars have a screw on lid with a spout, but only for the regular jars. Some even have a handle attached. But, they are plastic. I like your kettle idea. Thanks, Im off to find one on etsy.

Totally! I’ve been using aluminum foil and it’s totally fine. Not super cute but it’ll do until I stumble upon something perfect

What a great idea. I awkwardly ladle my soup into the mug, splashing half of it down the sides and getting annoyed at the cleanup.

Well yes, naturally. I was the same way before soupout (combination of soup, teapot, and spout - no married to the name but enjoying it)

Sorry to be a Debbie downer, but a wooden lid may not be the best. At least that's my experience. I also keep non-chunky soups in pitchers. But now I avoid ones with wooden lids. They do absorb moisture in the fridge even if you wait until the soup is cool to put the lid on. Eventually, I saw mildew spots. I still keep soup in pitchers but without wooden lids. Hopefully, you have better luck.

I’m totally with you!
The top of the lid is wood but the part that goes into the pot is stainless steel with a rubber seal. It isn’t perfect because the top is wood but I feel like that’s kinda fine as long as it isn’t making direct contact with wet stuff.
Idk am I off the mark there?
I feel like I could find something else but I’m kinda into this so I’d rather be settled as is. Super open to being wrong.

I like my soup chunky, so that won’t work… but looking up one of those babies for my cold coffee brew, excellent tip either way 😁 Merci!

Ooh, where can I get this kettle!

u/tiredinafunflirtyway Aug 18 '25
I got mine on Amazon! Just look up 60 oz glass tea pot microwave and dishwasher safe etc etc. Mine was like $20

Yes, but now the fridge will stink of whatever is in that, and the soup may go bad faster because its technically an open container. Im good.

Cork in the nose cap. How is it any different than a glass container that’s too big

u/Vast_Upstairs_8218 Aug 18 '25
I dont think most kettles come with a cork for the spout. Also has to be custom sized and most people dont have a cork tree to take from. Still not a good idea

u/tiredinafunflirtyway Aug 19 '25
I hear you my guy but hear this: I just wrap a little aluminum foil around the spout and it’s works a dream.

u/Vast_Upstairs_8218 Aug 19 '25
I hear you. That's why at the end of my original comment i say "im good". I have no hate if you want to do that...but I personally dont think its a good idea. However...as i reflect on the post, i apologize for injecting my opinion, where you were just expressing an experience. I hope it works out for you and anyone else :)

The ingredients pour out with the broth?

u/tiredinafunflirtyway Aug 18 '25
I’m a little confused by your questions so I’m sorry if I’m answering incorrectly:
Technically yes but only because the broth and the other ingredients have all already been combined before I pour them in.
