My recommendation is to freeze individual-sized portions in freezer-safe containers. It makes it easier and faster to thaw when you’re working with single-serving portions. Reheating: Thaw the soup in the fridge overnight. Then, reheat individual portions in the microwave, or warm a large batch in a pot on the stove over medium heat. Tried this recipe? Leave a review!
