Storing And Freezing Soup
Soups freeze and reheat perfectly, making them great options for meal planning or batch cooking.
Here's my top 5 tips for freezing soups:
- Cool in the fridge before freezing - allow soups to cool completely in the fridge before placing into the freezer
- Airtight containers - freeze your soup in airtight containers
- Use within 3 months - frozen soups are best consumed within 3 months - however, they can be frozen for longer
- Serving size - I like to freeze my soups in a combination of single serve and family size airtight containers. This makes is easier when grabbing out a single serve for lunch or a family size to feed everyone at dinner.
- Label your containers - after 3 months it can be difficult to know what kind of soup is hiding in your container just by looking at it. Labelling it takes the mystery out of knowing what kind of soup it is.
Reheating Soup
Soups can be reheated in either the microwave or on the stovetop.
When reheating soup:
- reheat creamy soups on a low heat to avoid the cream from separating
- you can either place the soup into the fridge overnight to defrost before reheating, or you can reheat directly from frozen
- once soup has been defrosted and reheated, it shouldn't be re-frozen
