Location near Manchester, not right place for soup ingredients (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stockpot

'place for soup ingredients' is the definition.

'location near manchester not right' is the wordplay.
'location near manchester' becomes 'stockport'.
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'stockport' with 'r' taken away is 'STOCKPOT'.

(Other definitions for stockpot that I've seen before include "slow cooker?" , "Cook's vessel" , "stew" , "gravy container" , "There's soupy stuff in this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
