There’s something undeniably comforting about a flavorful, cozy creamy soup recipe.
If it’s everyday, family get-togethers, holidays, parties, or potlucks, there’s just something about the rich and velvety texture of a creamy soup that makes us feel all warm and cozy inside. They’re the perfect one-pot dish that only needs a hunk of bread and butter for a complete meal. We love creamy soups because they are quick and simple to make, and budget-friendly.
Can You Freeze Creamy Soup?
It is possible to freeze creamy soups, but the texture might change a little bit after freezing and the milk or cream might separate. Once thawed, remember to stir the soup well, and add some fresh ingredients. Creamy soups will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.
How to Store Leftover Soup
Keep leftover soups covered in the refrigerator for between 3 and 5 days.
Thaw frozen soups in the refrigerator overnight before reheating them on the stovetop or microwave. Frozen soups can be thawed on slow heat in the crockpot if desired, too.
