- Freezer: Freezing creamy soups can be a bit tricky, as they tend to separate and become grainy when they’re thawed. Here are a few tips to help you successfully freeze creamy soups:
- Use airtight containers or freezer bags. Just make sure to leave some headroom in the container, as soups can expand as they freeze.
- Reheating: When you’re ready to eat the soup, it’s best to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat the soup on the stove, stirring often, until it is heated through. Do not boil the soup, as this can cause it to separate.
