Notes
Cool any leftover soup within 2 hours and store in the fridge for 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
When freezing, make sure you freeze it into usable sized portions & label. When you’re ready, either reheat straight from frozen or defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat until piping hot in a microwave or gently on the hob.
Space saving tip: Use Ziploc bags to freeze your leftover soup and freeze them flat. You’ll get much more space in your freezer and they’ll also defrost quicker too!
