Notes
Store any leftover soup in the fridge and use it within 2 days or freeze it in individual portions for up to 3 months.
To reheat the frozen soup, either defrost overnight in the fridge or reheat straight from frozen in the microwave (transferring the soup into a microwaveable container & stirring regularly) or over low heat in a saucepan, turning up to high heat once the soup has defrosted.
