The “Wonderful” All-Clad Soup Pot You’ll Reach for All Season Is $150 Off (It Comes with a Bonus Gift!)

Just like I drink iced coffee year-round, I enjoy hot soup no matter the season. But I must say, something about cozying up to a nice tomato bisque this time of year is unmatched. We’ve officially entered soup season, and although you can easily partake by heating up a canned split pea in the microwave, preparing soup from scratch on the stove is its own kind of ritual, one that instantly gets you into the homey fall spirit. Of course, you can make soup in almost any kind of pot. And because many of our readers are small-space dwellers, we understand that you might not own a dedicated stock pot. Those tend to come in large sizes, after all. But we recommend making this the year you finally invest in one. That way, your pot of soup will last you all week, making up for the time you spent chopping veggies, boiling the stock, and stirring the mixture. 

If there’s one soup pot that trumps them all, it’s the D5 Stainless Ultimate Soup Pot from All-Clad. Not only will it maintain its amazing quality for years on end, but it’s also currently on sale for $150 off. Shoppers can’t get enough of it, and for good reason.

The Ultimate Soup Pot is the ultimate largely because of its 6-quart capacity. If you regularly cook only for yourself, it’s a good size for leftovers that you’ll come back to throughout the week. If you’re cooking for more than one person, the size is even better because you’ll have more than enough space for multiple servings. The pot’s 15-inch diameter also allows you to stir with ease and later scoop out the contents without any splatters. Tall sides help conduct heat quickly, while generous side handles allow you to easily transport the pot from counter to stove. This pick’s material is also noteworthy. As opposed to All-Clad’s popular entry-level D3 line, the D5 construction offers an extra layer of aluminum and stainless steel, resulting in more even heat distribution and no warping. It’s naturally a bit pricier and heftier, but the heavier construction is great for home cooks who want a little more durability from their everyday pan. Cleanup is minimized because even though washing by hand is recommended, the material is surprisingly easy to clean.

We haven’t even gotten to the best part yet: The Ultimate Soup Pot comes with a stainless steel ladle and tight-fitting lid! The ladle sports a curved handle, so you can set it on the side of the pan between stirs to avoid dirtying your pan. Together, these pieces will help you prepare the best soups and stews you’ve ever made.

Average Rating: 4.8/5

“I needed a good pot for soups, stews, and chili. The D5 soup pot is amazing — the best pot I ever had! It even came with a nice ladle. I can’t say enough about this pot; it looks great, it heats evenly, cooks fast, and the lid has a tight seal on it. So when your pot is off the stove and lid is on, it stays warm for a long time, even with the ladle in it. It is easy to clean; nothing sticks. Just the best pot for many things.” — Geldersheim

“I LOVE all of my All-Clad cookware, and this 6-quart pot is a wonderful addition! It makes cooking fun, and I swear it makes the food taste better. I also love the ladle that was included. It conveniently sits on the edge of the pot, unlike any other we own.” — Rebecca

“We have a large All-Clad cookware [collection], and this is my new favorite pot! It is deep yet shallow enough for all of my cooking (family of four). I cook pasta, sauces, soups, etc. Also great for mixing flour or soaking things in the kitchen. I love this pot so much that I have three of them (we own the 12-quart, 8-quart, and 4-quart SD5 stock pots)! I converted one into a deep fryer with the matching fry basket … I can’t recommend this pot enough.” — Isabel

To make the deal even sweeter, you should know that the pot is also oven- and broiler-safe and compatible with all kinds of stovetops. It’s truly a workhorse that you’ll quickly find lives up to its name. Get yours while it’s still heavily discounted, and enjoy homemade soups all fall long (and beyond).
