Too Much Soup<\/h2>\n

You wake up one morning feeling like a bowl of soup would be nice for dinner.<\/p>\n

You pull out the old soup pot and start throwing in your favorite ingredients.<\/p>\n

Before long, you have a massive quantity of a happily bubbling stew.<\/p>\n

You sit down, enjoy your delectable concoction, and get a sweet cozy feeling.<\/p>\n

Once supper is finished, you go back to the kitchen to do the dishes and realize you have at least ten more bowls worth of stew left.<\/p>\n

There’s no way you can eat it all before it goes bad in the fridge.<\/p>\n

The only option is to freeze your soup.<\/p>\n

Can Soup be frozen?<\/h2>\n

Like a lot of foods, soup can be frozen, and it freezes quite well.<\/p>\n

Especially the broth-based soups that don’t have a ton of fats in them.<\/p>\n

Making a bunch of soup and freezing most of it is what a lot of people do, including me.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing better than pulling some homemade soup out of the freezer, heating it, and having tasty warm cozy soup in minutes with no mess.<\/p>\n

Noodles are the only thing in a soup that doesn’t freeze well.<\/p>\n

If you are making extra soup with noodles to freeze, you can do two things to stop the noodles from getting super mushy when you reheat the soup.<\/p>\n

The first thing you can do is leave the noodles out altogether.<\/p>\n

When you are going to reheat some soup, boil the noodles and add them to the soup once it’s heated.<\/p>\n

The second thing you can do is add the noodles to the soup right before it’s done cooking, so they only cook for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

When you reheat the soup, they will cook all the way, and you won’t have overcooked noodles.<\/p>\n

How to Freeze Soup?<\/h2>\n

There are many ways to freeze soup, and each has its benefits.<\/p>\n

The first and most straightforward way is to simply let your leftover soup cool completely, put it in a container in the desired proportions, and stick it in the freezer.<\/p>\n

This way works well if you have sturdy containers (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>\u00a0that can hold up well in the cold freezer temperatures.<\/p>\n

Remember not to fill the container entirely because the soup will expand a little when it freezes, and you don’t want the lid to pop off or the container to break.<\/p>\n

When you want your soup, pull it out of the freezer a few hours or even a day ahead of time to let it thaw.<\/p>\n

It will take longer to soften the soup the natural way in a container because it’s so thick.<\/p>\n

You could thaw it in the microwave too if you didn’t have time to plan ahead.<\/p>\n

\"soup-can-it-be-frozen-how-to-freeze-soup\"<\/p>\n

The second and my favorite way to freeze soup is to put it in a freezer bag.<\/p>\n

You can use any size of freezer bag<\/a> depending on how much soup you want in each portion.<\/p>\n

First, let your soup cool off completely, then pull out the bag you wish to use and spoon the soup into the bag.<\/p>\n

This part can get a little messy if you have a thick soup and a small bag but just take your time.<\/p>\n

Don’t overfill the bag because the soup will expand when it freezes, and it can break the bag.<\/p>\n

The reason I like this way so much is the soup freezes flat, so you are left with bags that are about 1-inch thick.<\/p>\n

It can save a ton of freezer space because the soup bags can be placed under other items or stacked on top of each other.<\/p>\n

When you are ready to eat your soup, it only takes a few hours to thaw it because it’s so thin. It thaws and warms fast in the microwave as well.<\/p>\n

You can heat it in the bag, a bowl, or a pot, depending on your preferences.<\/p>\n

The only downside to this method is the bag usually is not reusable, and you have to keep buying more.<\/p>\n

One solution to that is to buy reusable freezer bags (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>, it’s also the better thing to do for the environment.<\/p>\n

Another more creative way people have started freezing soup is using muffin tins (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>to freeze the soup in small muffin-sized pucks.<\/p>\n

Once the soup is frozen in the muffin tin, take them out and place them in a bag.<\/p>\n

The reason people do this is, so they don’t lose any soup to the sides of the freezer bag.<\/p>\n

For me, I don’t think the small amount of the soup that’s left on the bag is a huge deal, but if it’s something that you don’t like, the muffin tin method is the way to go.<\/p>\n

Just make sure you take the frozen pucks out of the bag before they thaw and put them in a pot or bowl.<\/p>\n

However you decide to freeze your soup, it’s a great idea because you can have soup whenever you want and you won’t be stuck eating the same soup for a week.<\/p>\n
