❄️Refrigeration and Freezing: To store, first allow the soup to cool completely. Transfer it to an airtight container, and keep it in the fridge for 3-5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
can I make my soup thinner?
I always recommend starting with a thicker soup. Remember, it is much easier to save a thicker soup than a thinner one, as all you need to do is add more stock or water to suit your preference.
Also, a thicker soup takes up much less space in the fride, especially when making the soup for meal-prep.
