Question about adding protein powder to soup..

I am making broccoli cheese soup tonight and thought I might add a couple scoops of unflavored protein to it.  I know that it clumps up if it is added to boiling/hot liquid, but wondered if I dissolved it in room temp broth first, will it clump up if I added it to the soup (after mixing with broth)?

Even if it is dissolved in room temp broth?

yes even dissolved in room temp broth it will clump when you add it to any other liquid over 140 degrees

I'm too late, but I dissolve at room temp first, then gradually add the soup a little at a time so that it slowly tempers.  Since boiling point of water is 212F at sea level, then you'd want to make sure you add only a small amount of the hot soup to your room temp soup/protein at a time, stirring constantly.

The hotter  soup cools as you pour it in, and you are gradually warming the cooler soup/protein mixture.  I've never had any clumping using this process.

BUT DO NOT PUT PROTEIN POWDER IN THE WHOLE BATCH!  Just mix in the protein powder by serving!  I made the mistake of reheating soup with protein powder in the microwave, and it wasn't pretty! 

So, how did the soup come out?

I ended up not making it, but plan to tonight.  That is a good idea about adding it to the individual portions.  I think I will try that.  That way if I ruin any, it will just be 1 serving.  :)  Thanks!
