The lower section holds the soup or liquid dish, while the insert platform holds solid accompaniments directly above — keeping them elevated and dry until the customer is ready to eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 140-55mm specification refers to the top diameter (140mm) and the depth (55mm) of the insert. At 55mm, this is the deepest insert in NextWave's 140mm range, offering more vertical clearance than the 35mm and 40mm alternatives. This makes the 140-55mm insert the right choice where the accompaniment portion is taller or where more separation between liquid and solid is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear polypropylene material allows customers to see the soup beneath the insert, supports a clean presentation, and is designed to maintain its shape when placed in hot food environments. Inserts are compatible with the full range of NextWave PP Soup Bowl Lids 140mm, allowing the complete soup bowl, insert, and lid combination to be sealed for takeaway and delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese inserts are designed for foodservice operators who serve soup as a complete meal or premium dish and need to maintain presentation quality during packing and transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eChunky soups with bread accompaniments where a tall bread roll, thick bread slice, or large crouton portion needs to remain dry and elevated above the soup base\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eBroth-based dishes with toppings such as ramen, pho, and Asian noodle soups where noodle blocks, protein portions, or garnish clusters are served above the liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePremium soup courses offered by restaurants, food-to-go counters, and catering operations where the presentation of accompaniments as a separate element adds perceived value\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDelivery-led soup menus where maintaining the integrity of dry or textured components during transit is essential to product quality on arrival\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMeal-prep and catering packs where standardised plating across a large number of portions is required, and the insert provides a consistent format for accompaniment portioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMaintains separation between liquid and solid components during delivery: The 55mm depth provides a deeper clearance zone between the soup and the accompaniment, reducing the risk of liquid contact during handling, transit, and consumer unpacking. This helps preserve the texture and appearance of accompaniments from the point of packing to the point of consumption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSupports structured plating within a single container: Using an insert allows kitchen teams to plate two distinct components into one sealed unit without requiring separate packaging for accompaniments. This reduces pack count, simplifies assembly, and creates a cleaner, more deliberate presentation compared with placing accompaniments loosely on top of soup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCompatible with the full PP Soup Bowl Lid 140mm for secure sealing: The insert and lid combination creates a fully enclosed, stable unit for takeaway and delivery. The lid sits over the complete bowl and insert assembly, helping maintain temperature and reducing spillage risk during transit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eConsistent portioning across service periods and sites: The insert acts as a physical portioning reference for accompaniments, supporting consistent volume and presentation across multiple kitchen locations or across long service periods where visual portion control may vary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSuitable for hot and cold food: The polypropylene material is designed for use with both hot and cold food applications, making these inserts versatile across different soup service formats and seasonal menu requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NextWave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62823221428595,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/6232\/4339\/files\/PPSoupBowlInserts140-55mm2_8cd2f992-b762-416b-9db1-231441336aa1.jpg?v=1778284827","url":"https:\/\/next-wave.uk\/products\/pp-soup-bowl-inserts-140-55-mm","provider":"Next Wave","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
