Notes
If you have leftover soup, let it cool, then place it in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
When you’re ready to eat, pop it in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl. If the soup has thickened while sitting, you can thin it with a little more broth or water if you want.
