I have a microwave at my office space rental, but I'm on the road a lot with my job, so I've looked into many different solutions. There are a variety of options available.
Non-electronic storage:
They make a squattier version of the Thermos you have from RTIC, which is what I sometimes use:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DRP86T1
Spoon for size comparison:
https://i.imgur.com/AR4itKB.jpg
It's not so deep that I can't get a spoon in. It'd be nice if it were a little wider, but it does the job. A bit smaller than your Thermos at 17 ounces. Pinnacle Thermoware sells insulated a pretty nice insulated bowl set, if you specifically want a bowl shape:
https://www.amazon.com/Pinnacle-Serving-Salad-Soup-Dish/dp/B07RT1X47C/
If you need more food than just one bowl can hold, Ailijin makes a 2-bowl, single-tote insulated solution: (kind of a round bento-style)
https://www.amazon.com/AILIJIN-Leakproof-Insulated-Stainless-Portable/dp/B07QQ9JYG3/
If you need to heat up a soup before you go to put into an insulated storage container, I use one of these vented microwave mugs, so it doesn't explode all over the inside of my microwave when heating up:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F5IC478/
Electronic storage:
Beyond that, there are 3 common electronic options, depending on what power you have available: (12V in a car or an A/C wall plug)
The Crockpot unit is basically like your Thermos, except you plug it in to heat it, and it has a pretty nice wide bowl size. My buddy has one & it's pretty dang handy! My brother has the RoadPro, as he's on the road all day long, and it's super nice because it does a pretty decent job (heats up to 300F, basically like a mini oven), so you can heat up burritos, melt cheesy stuff like lasagna, etc.
The HotLogic is nice because instead of just being a mini portable crockpot, it's also a mini oven, and can be used from a wall plug, a newer-vehicle 2-prong car plug, or with a 75-watt (minimum) inverter. There's a good Facebook group available as well! It heats up to 218F & then holds the food at 180F, so it's more for reheating food than cooking food, like the RoadPro can do (HotLogic says you can cook chicken breast in it in about 2 hours, but ehhh...), but it's also a bit more versatile as you can plug it directly into the wall an hour before lunch & have your food ready to go without needing a microwave or toaster oven.
Homemade soup:
If you're into soup & haven't heard of Souper Cubes, it's basically a silicone ice cube tray with 1/2-cup & 1-cup markings (4 per tray) & lids, plus a wire frame around the top to hold it together, which makes portioning out bulk soup cooks super easy:
https://www.soupercubes.com/
I mean, just look at this insanity:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0cU_UFBSQp/
Also, if you're into making soups at home, the Instant Pot (electric pressure cooker) is my BFF...it makes cooking soup a lot faster & more automated (aka easier overall!). Poaching from another one of my posts, here are some soup ideas: (I use the IP for soups, stews, bisques, broths, stocks, etc.)
Some ideas for soup toppings & easy no-knead breads:
Also if you're trying to get more veggies in your diet, check out this master guide on making blended soups in the Instant Pot, definitely worth a read:
https://allthenourishingthings.com/make-blended-soup-instant-pot/
I tend to make soup about once a week in my Instant Pot at home, then freeze it in my Souper Cube containers, and keep a stash of different varieties in my freezer so I can just grab one & go. When you have a solid storage system setup (electronic or non-electronic), it makes the whole process pretty dang easy:
For me, it's really about nailing down a solid process & taking care of all of the little annoying details. Like you said, the tall insulated mugs are too small to get a spoon into & eat out of, so you have to find something better that meets the needs of your individual situation better. Then, setting up a system to support convenience means you can always have a variety of soups to grab before you leave the house, whether it's a can that you heat up in a vented mug & store in a food thermos or a frozen Souper Cube that you toss in a Crockpot Lunch Crock & plug in before lunch!

Recipe Source: Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
I use 2 to 3 cups of rice which probably makes for about 10 - 18 servings. I typically have a bowl of rice every few days or so, which it's up lasting me about 2 weeks. If I'm sharing with a group it'll last less time of course. This is the exact cooker I have, https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CPC-600-Electric-Pressure-Stainless/dp/B000MPA044/ref=sr_1_4?crid=22OPXIM6VHEJ1&keywords=pressure+cooker+cuisinart&qid=1562420388&s=gateway&sprefix=pressure+cooker+cuisinar%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-4 , but there are others out there. Instant Pot seems to be the most common one out there these days but I've had this one prior to that one came to the market.
​
If you do get one, which you definitely should, i HIGHLY recommend checking out this website, https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/ . It's been a lifesaver in terms of cooking near-perfect meals, like rice, meats, etc. Their recipes are written using the scientific method, meaning they experiment with different techniques (quick release value vs natural release; more vs less time, etc). It's been hugely valuable in terms of getting your food to come perfect. I guarantee if you follow their instructions you'll come out with the same results that they do, or close to it. Serious eats also has some nice articles on pressure cookers.
Gotta get it how ya live it. Also, the cups in the middle for the “sour cream” aka plain Greek yogurt and sauce are 2 oz deli cups. They fit just as well in the containers and are great for storing dressing if you wanted to put a salad or something of the sort in a container. They work pretty well for Jell-O shots too lol. I either hand wash them or throw them in the dishwasher.
I hope you find something!
Amazon also has some decent-priced containers:

Some tips/comments for anyone interested in doing something similar:
I hate handling raw meat as well and how I get around it is I've purchased a container of the no-powder-latex-free gloves like you see at the doctor's office and wear them when handling raw meat.
https://www.amazon.com/AMMEX-X3D44100-BX-Nitrile-Gloves-Disposable/dp/B00CF4AFQI/
Then you 'proper' sterile removal technique I prefer the double fold:
https://youtu.be/dyLEd9cng5U?t=51
Just an idea; Also you can google easy meal prep ideas. I personally love these ones that are 'no cook' for lunches:
https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/lunch-box-recipes/
​
Hope this helps!
I box 'em up and put it in a cooler. I have a fridge and limited stove privileges where I stay for the weekdays so that helps. Costco uncooked chapati gets a couple of minutes on a plancha then some hummus and lettuce or other veg. It's quick, adaptable, cheap, vegan, and fairly healthy.
Frittatas also work well for me, they travel okay and can do double duty as breakfast or entree. I pre grind coffee and use a Stanley camping French press. https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Classic-Vacuum-Travel-Hammertone/dp/B00NONDBXI I think I paid US$30. for mine. Milk is purchased at destination, often lettuce as well.
Big fan of these; definitely go with glass
