Storage Suggestions – Can you freeze bean soup?
Save yourself some time, make extra soup, and freeze it for a future plant-based protein-packed meal. Freezing bean soup is a great way to meal prep and preserve it for later use. Here’s how to freeze bean soup for best results:
- Cool the Soup: Allow the bean soup to cool to room temperature before freezing. Hot or warm soup can create condensation in the container, leading to freezer burn.
- Choose Freezer-Safe Containers:ย Use an airtight container or resealable plastic freezer bag for storing the soup.ย
- Portion the Soup: Consider portioning the soup into individual serving sizes before freezing. This makes it easier to thaw and reheat only what you need.
- Leave Room for Expansion: If using containers, leave some space at the top of the container because liquids expand as they freeze.
- Label and Date: Before placing the soup in the freezer, label the containers or bags with the contents and the date it was made.
- Remove Air: If using plastic bags, remove as much air as possible before sealing. This helps prevent freezer burn.
- Freeze Flat: If using plastic bags, lay them flat on a baking sheet or tray to freeze. Once frozen, they can be stacked to save space in the freezer.
- Thawing and Reheating: When ready to use, thaw this instant pot bean soup vegetarian recipe in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can thaw it in the microwave using the defrost setting. Once thawed, reheat the soup on the stove top or in the microwave until it reaches the desired temperature.
By following these steps, you can properly freeze bean soup to maintain its flavor and texture for a few months.
Pro Tip:ย
If you do freeze it, I recommend not adding potato or pasta. You can always add those items when you reheat and serve. Check out the tips below for serving information.
