Notes

Storage Information
Refrigerator: Allow the soup to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. Store for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer: Place cooled soup in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, consider portioning it into individual servings for easy reheating.
Reheating: When ready to enjoy leftovers, reheat the soup on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through, stirring occasionally. If frozen, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. You can also use the microwave, heating in short intervals until warm. Add fresh toppings right before serving!
