Notes
Refrigerator Storage: Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer Storage: Let the soup cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers or bags to prevent ice crystals from forming. Leave a little room at the top of the container for expansion. The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw the soup in the fridge overnight before reheating. Keep in mind that the cream may separate slightly, but stirring well while reheating will help bring it back together.
Reheating Instructions: Reheat in a pot over medium heat or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed through.
