How to Properly Store Soup in the Fridge Properly storing soup in the fridge is important so that you can reheat it and enjoy it again. Storing Soup in the Freezer If you need to store soup for longer than 3 to 4 days, freezing it will be a good option. Reheating Soup You may reheat soup in two ways — over a stovetop or in a microwave. If you have stored soup with pasta or rice from the fridge or freezer, it would have soaked up the liquid and probably need more liquid to thin it out.
Add about 1 to 1. Pick your heat setting. Don't cover it until then, that would only slow down the cooling time. Soup is easy to reheat, whether on the stovetop or in the microwave. Defrosting should always happen in the refrigerator or else in the microwave, using the recommended times. Don't reheat a portion more than once—just take out what you will eat and keep the rest of it cold. A handy rule to remember is that if you are reheating a chicken or meat broth or clear soup, bring it to a boil for three minutes to be sure of killing off any harmful bacterial growth.
Soups are, in a way, the most flexible of foods when it comes to storage and reuse because they can be brought to a boil without risk of scorching. This is harder to do with soups that are thickened with flour or cream, or those that are mainly seafood; they might over-reduce, becoming too salty, thick, or cloudy. As long as you trust that the soup doesn't smell or taste "off" when you take it out of the refrigerator, bring it just to a boil and then lower the heat and stir as it simmers gently for three more minutes.
The benefits of homemade soup are many: You control the ingredient list, using just what you like and leaving out what you don't ; likewise you can use the ingredients you know are good for you. Of course, it's more economical than buying pre-made soup.
And just think how satisfied you'll feel once you've eaten your bowlful and put some away in the refrigerator for later in the week, or the freezer for a day, further down the road, when you need a little bit of extra comfort. By Anna Kovel January 28,
