I am a soup lover during the cooler months and honestly, there is no way I am cooking every day, so I love things I can make ahead, freeze and reheat, like these soups!
Make-ahead soups are literally a lifesaver in the fall and winter, but there are a few tips and rules to follow when it comes to having them taste just as good as they did the first time.
Don't freeze potatoes in the soup. Potatoes will fall apart when freezing and give you a chunky consistency. Actually, I do freeze potatoes and just use a stick blender on the soup when reheating. Keep this in mind when choosing which soups to freeze and how to serve them once they're reheated!
There are a few rules when freezing soups. Here are a few to keep in mind:
1. Skip the pasta. If adding in pasta, leave it out until you serve it. Pasta tends to break up in the freezer. It will taste good, so if that is your only concern, then go ahead and leave it in.
2. Leave out anything you wait to add until the last 5 minutes, such as fresh herbs. They offer much more to the soup when added when reheating.
3. Undercook vegetables a little. They will cook more during reheating, so slightly undercooking them helps prevent mush.
4. Cream soups will get very thick after freezing, you will need to reheat gently (I prefer a simmer on the stovetop) and add milk or cream a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
I put together my best freezer soups for you with little tips and tricks on how to reheat them perfectly. Enjoy!
