Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Store Leftovers

Cool soup. Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat just before serving. For longer storage, freeze up to 4 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Keeping it Safe

If using a blender to puree the soup, cover the filled blender with lid, then a clean dish towel to prevent any hot soup from leaking from top as mixture is blended.
