soup kettle

Large cooking pot

A soup kettle is a large pot designed for making or serving soup in quantity, typically holding several gallons.

In commercial settings like cafeterias and buffets, electric soup kettles keep soup warm for extended service: The deli had three soup kettles going—tomato, chicken noodle, and clam chowder.
