Are you using a 16 quart pot or two 8 quarts? Something blended?

There was a typo in My OP - I’d prefer NO blending.

Was going to use a huge pot.
Not sure how many quarts 🤔

I like to do chicken soup. I throw in a load of carcasses, necks, cut up some carrots and add onions. I like to make kneidlach and lokshen, but have that separate to add later.
To travel, I buy large plastic containers and pour the soup in. I bag the containers just in case of spillages, but if you get good containers, I haven't had issues before.
I will admit I haven't tried to transport that quantity of soup, but I don't see it should be any different to transporting soup for 10+ people, it's just a larger container or another container. I've only done it to my inlaws and I transfer the soup to their pots. If you needed to use your own pot, I would take it along separately and transfer at your destination. Most pots are not travel friendly.

Otherwise, you might prefer a basic vegetable soup. Onion soup, or leek and potato soup are both nice and are quite easily to make for larger quantities. I love butternut squash soup, but unless you're able to buy it chopped, I would hate to try and cut up enough squash for the soup. The advantage of these blended types of soups means they're thicker and therefore are easier to transport because they're less likely to spill.

Chicken?
No. They won’t want that

Butternut is very easy, but you would need to blend. You can cut the butternut in half, lay on a baking sheet, roast and then scoop out the flesh and blend. Then you don't have to peel and chop. If you add onions to the baking sheet, it gives it great flavor too, sometimes I add sweet potatoes, carrots and even an apple for sweetness.

We like split pea with meat in it.

Also lentil or split pea is very easy. Saute onions, celery, garlic in oil, add carrots if you want, add water or broth and spices (a little tomato paste is good too) and split peas/lentils.

My husband has started making a vegetable soup with flanken recently. Carrots, mushrooms, celery, garlic, scallions, onions, spli peas…..I can ask him for the exact recipe if you want. You can freeze it in 9x13 pans or in 2 gallon ziplocks for east transport.

I like a hearty parve soup. I've made it for a crowd before, many times.

split peas (green and yellow)
barley
white navy beans
chopped onion
thin sliced garlic
chopped celery
chopped carrot
butternut squash
green summer squash, shopped
chopped tomato
water
consumme soup mix
onion powder
garlic powder
pepper
salt to taste
bay leaves

cook 2 hours, stirring and scraping bottom, no more than medium heat (I like it just simmering). make sure beans are soft (that's how you know it's done).

Eating some right now Smile

amazing leftovers too!

This is an easy peasy no fail. No blend. Freezes amazing. And a crowd pleaser. ( And looks fancy too )

You might have to double or triple the recipe according to how much you make.

The recipe is for an 6-8 quart pot

4 carrots
4 celery sticks
4 garlic cloves
1/2 red bell pepper

Blend in food processer on S blade. ( Don't overblend as the result will be mushy)

Put in pot and saute with little oil for few min.

Add:
1 cup red lentils
1/4 -1/2 cup Barley ( Recipe comes with 1/4 and I add more as I like it with more barley)
2 tbs salt ( put less if you prefer less salty )

Add 12 cups water

Cook for 1 hour. Freeze and enjoy.
