OP here. This is a good idea. I would definitely let it cool before putting it tupperware.

I would hesitate to put hot liquids in plastic, even if "BPA free." Make a batch of soup, let it cool, freeze in tupperware, and then put it in a cooler in the car.

What about one of those huge plastic jugs used for water and sports drinks?

Sort of like this:

Brilliant ideas, all. Will likely do the cooler with tupperware or huge ziploc bag.

Tupperware in a cooler.

Tupperware with screw top(s).

Ziploc baggies and a cooler.

How will you keep the food at the proper safe temperature in a crock pot for four hours?

I would freeze the soup, then heat it up when you get to your destination. Frozen soup won't spill!

Was going to suggest same as PP. This is the one I have:

It seals up pretty tight. Never transported it though. If you don't have one or want to spend the money, maybe see if a friend has one you can borrow?

My mother has a crock pot that seals on the top so you can take it to go. I know she has transported soup in it.

How do I go about transporting soup for Thanksgiving? We're going on a road trip (4 hours by car). Do I find a huge rubbermaid thingy? Can i use a soup tureen? I don't want it to spill everywhere.
