Benefits of technology

[0005]Compatible and attuned with the present invention, a portable container assembly and method of assembling a portable container assembly for transporting soup that is sturdy, ergonomically configured, and substantially maintains a desired temperature of the soup that can also be easily manufactured and assembled has surprisingly been discovered.

Problems solved by technology

However, many problems exist in transporting soup.
Current containers are unable to substantially maintain the desired range of temperatures of the soup.
However, some hulk soup containers do not provide an opening that is large enough or an ergonomic shape that is conducive to receive the soup ladle or serving utensils while also providing an efficient means for filling the container with the food product.
Furthermore, some bulk soup containers can be unwieldy and unable to withstand the weight of the bulk soup.
Certain containers can also be difficult to assemble.
