While I love the idea of a flask of soup, how da fuk do you get broccoli cheddar into a flask! When I have used them, I can barely get alcohol into the flask with the tiny funnel without alcohol abusing the counter?!?!
Ok, you start by fabricating a funnel that screws to the neck of the flask. It's a bit of time on the lathe, but you only need to do it once.
Attach the funnel to the flask, and fill it with you soup of choice. Then place the entire contraption in your vacuum chamber and pump it down, slowly, to the lowest pressure it'll manage. Don't go quickly, or the soup will bubble out of the funnel, unless you made it particularly deep. Once you've evacuated the flask, and let the soup settle back down in the funnel, bring the pressure back up. At that point, the vacuum will suck the soup in to the flask. Once you're back up to ambient pressure, detach the funnel, give the flask a wipe, close it and go about your day with a loaded soup flask.
This is absolutely the engineering solution that calls to me...But if the viscosity is so think it requires a vacuum of pull it in, does it need an exit mechanism?
That's a very good point. The problem with your average hip flask is that it's really quite small, which means there is really not much space inside the flask to work with. The mechanism that springs to mind is the same as you find in a twist-up stick deoderant. Namely, you have a twistable knob on the base of the flask, which rotates a screw which runs up the centre of the flask. Mounted on the screw, inside the body of the flask, is a plate which, due to the geometry of the flask, can't rotate, and will thus be forced to move up and down. Whilst ensuring the reliability of the seals may take some experimental work, this woild allow the user to retrieve the soup simply by twisting the knob, thereby compressing the soup, causing it to exit via the neck of the flask.
Hmm. I'm not sure how well that would handle the lumps. The advantage of using a vacuum is that the lumps can be up to the size of the flask neck. I'd expect that a syringe would have a much smaller bore, so would only really be suitable for broths and smooth soups. I'm not a vetinarian though, so I could be underestimating their size however.
I mean, you're the weirdo accepting random liquids from someone.
Maybe they know each other super well and she trusts him implicitly
And they wouldn't know about their crippling addiction to soup?
Not a chance
I mean' it was in a flask
A guy holding a flask at a party and your first thought isn’t soup? Fucking moron
fuck yeah thats the best soup
Broccoli soups are the best. I'll take any, but Cream of Broccoli is incredible.
Broc my world
Idk I make a mean tortellini and black bean soup
Bean, you say???? I hear Lemmy has a love affair with beans!
Recipe or it didn't happen
So apparently because it's a massive pain in the ass to make I never wrote it down and it's been a while, sorry

Simple really.

Inflatable bladder.
Soup delivery system using a deodorant stick 'bottle'.
Or you could just inject the soup using a veterinary syringe.

You could dilute the broccoli cheddar soup with a lot of vodka.
Not that we are voting, but 👆 is very flask like and so far my favorite.
Step 1: blender
Step 2: ???
Step 3: profit
They build the flask around the soup.
The philosopher answer!
Let me tell you, this got a genuine lol approximating the same amount of shock she must have felt. Well played, author, well played
Every non-empty flask contains both soup and liquor until you take a sip.
*spit* i ordered french onion
This is fricken hilarious
I laughed way too much at this. What is the source?
