How To Store & Reheat Tomato Soup
Once you've had your fill of this soup, let it cool down before storing it away. Then, transfer it into an airtight container and slide it into your fridge. To reheat, you can either warm it up in a pot over a medium flame, stirring occasionally, or for a quicker fix, pop it in the microwave for a few minutes.How Long Will This Tomato Soup Last In The Fridge?
This simple, homemade tomato soup will keep its charm for about 3 to 4 days in the fridge, which makes it great for meal prepping at the start of the week. Just keep an eye (and nose) on it, and if anything seems off, it’s better to play it safe and whip up a fresh batch.Can I Freeze Tomato Soup?
If you have more soup than you can handle right now, no prob - it freezes great! Simply pop it into freezer-safe bags, squeezing out all the air and laying them flat, or airtight containers, leaving a little room at the top for expansion. It'll stay fresh for up to 3 months in the freezer. When you're craving some more, just let it thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat it.Nutrition
