Notes

To Make a Meal Prep: I often prepare this dish in plastic meal prep dishes for easy lunches during the week. Prep the recipe as directed, allow the steam to blow off. Divide the soup among six meal prep containers. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Consume within 4 days.

Freeze Extra for Later: This soup is perfect for freezing! Feel free to make a double batch and freeze for another time.

To freeze: chill the soup completely before storing in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: This soup reheats beautifully the next day. Just be sure to promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. If you store your leftovers in clear containers, they’re more likely to get eaten.
