Soup questions, answered

What are the easiest soups to make
Miso soup, tomato basil, and lentil soup are all simple and quick. Most come together in under an hour with pantry staples and one pot, so they are good places to start.
Which soups freeze well
Lentil, split pea, minestrone, butternut squash, tomato basil and chili all freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Freeze brothy soups without the pasta or noodles and add them fresh when reheating.
What is the best way to freeze soup
Cool it fast, then freeze it flat in a sealed gallon bag laid on a sheet pan. A flat slab stacks upright, takes an inch of shelf, and thaws in a fraction of the time a tub does.
How do I make soup more filling
Add beans, lentils, pasta, rice, or shredded chicken, and serve with crusty bread. A handful of grated cheese or a swirl of cream also makes a bowl more satisfying.
How long does homemade soup last in the fridge
Most soups keep for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Cool the soup quickly, store it cold, and reheat it to a steady simmer before serving.
